How to make Twisted Bacon:
- Heat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a large baking sheet with foil. Seal it over the edges. We choose foil over parchment for this recipe because you want to keep the bacon grease from leaking underneath for easy clean up.
- Holding one end of the bacon strip simply twist it around your finger and boom!
- Place on lined baking sheet and into the oven it goes!
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. It takes a bit of time to really crisp these up!
- Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain.
- Let the grease solidify then wrap up the foil and toss!
Simply hold on to one edge and twist around your finger We like to use thick bacon but any will do
Tips to make this fun and easy baked bacon!
- we prefer thick sliced bacon but any bacon will do. Thinner tends to break when twisting but it works.
- line your baking sheet with foil and bring it over the edges of the pan to hold in the grease. That way after you remove the bacon, you can let the grease solidify then wrap up the foil and toss!
- Top with pepper, brown sugar or Everything Bagel seasoning before baking if desired.
How to make Twisted Bacon in your Air Fryer –
- Simply preheat your Air Fryer to 400 degrees. Line with Air Fryer Parchment if using (highly recommend).
