👨🍳 How To Make
Follow this super easy recipe:
Step 1
Start by preheating the oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Twist the bacon strips tightly.
Step 3
Place the twisted bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. To prevent them from unraveling, place them close to each other.
Step 4
Sprinkle your favorite seasonings on top.
Step 5
Cook for 15-20 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy to your liking. Enjoy!
💡Tips
1. Let the Bacon Cool
This is important for achieving the perfect texture. When you first take the bacon twists out of the oven, they might seem a bit floppy.
Don’t worry – this is normal. As they cool, they’ll continue to crisp up and hold their shape better.
Let them rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
2. Experiment With Seasonings
While simple salt and pepper work great, don’t be afraid to get creative with your seasonings.
For a spicy kick, try sprinkling your twists with cayenne pepper or chili flakes before baking.
If you really love heat, you could even brush them with a mixture of hot sauce and melted butter halfway through cooking. Make sure the hot sauce dones’t contain carbs so it’s as carnivore friendly as possible.
