Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon Wrapped Summer Squash.
Step 1
To start your delicious bacon and vegetable dish, lay two paper towels on a microwave-safe plate.
Step 2
Scatter the bacon pieces on top and cover them with another paper towel.
Step 3
Pop it in the microwave on high for about 30 seconds; this will help absorb some of the grease and get the bacon partially cooked.
Step 4
Next, transfer the bacon to a deep skillet and cook it over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Stir frequently as it sizzles away, and in about 5 to 10 minutes, you’ll have crispy, golden-brown bacon that’s simply irresistible.
Step 6
Once your bacon is just right, lower the heat to medium and toss in the minced garlic.
Step 7
Let it cook for about 30 seconds until the kitchen fills with that wonderful aroma.
Step 8
Now, add the chopped onion to the skillet.
Step 9
Stir occasionally and let it cook until the onion turns slightly translucent but still has a nice crunch, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 10
It’s time to introduce the yellow squash! Stir it in and keep cooking, stirring often, until it starts to soften, which will take around 5 minutes.
Step 11
Next, add the chopped artichoke hearts and let them warm through for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 12
Now, stir in the capers and crushed rosemary, giving everything a good mix.
Step 13
Cover the skillet and let it cook, stirring often, until the squash is tender yet still has a bit of bite, which should take about 5 more minutes.
Step 14
Finally, season your dish with salt and a sprinkle of ground white pepper to taste.
Step 15
Serve it up and enjoy the delightful medley of flavors!.
