Bacon-Wrapped Enoki Mushrooms with Spinach make a unique and delicious Paleo, Whole30, and keto appetizer.
In a trip to Vietnam, I saw street vendors selling grilled skewers of enoki wrapped in thick, juicy slices of bacon. They also sell bunches of water spinach wrapped in bacon.
I figured why not combine the best of both, and that’s how this tasty little enoki mushroom recipe was born.
What are Enoki Mushrooms?
Enoki mushrooms are thin, white mushrooms often used in East Asian cuisines.
Take a close look and you’ll start seeing them everywhere–from stir-frys to soups to noodle dishes.
I find packages of these little guys at a local international farmers market. They should be available in any supermarket that has a decent selection of fungi.
How To Make Bacon-Wrapped Enoki Mushrooms
In order to get the bacon nice and crispy, I like to give it a head start in the oven.
Place the bacon on a rack inside an aluminum foil lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, until the edges start to brown up a bit.
Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool down a little.
Take a handful of enoki and wrap in a large spinach leaf then tightly wrap the whole thing in a strip of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Brush each roll up with some coconut aminos and return to the oven.
Bake for 10 minutes, then flip them over and brush with some more coconut aminos. Continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes, until the bacon is crisp.
Serve immediately. Enjoy!
