Bacon Twists
Bacon twists have taken social media by storm, and the viral TikTok recipe puts a creative and fun spin on classic bacon preparation. Bacon strips are twisted from edge to edge, creating little pockets that collect rendered bacon fat while they cook. The result is extra flavorful bacon that is crispy, chewy, and perfect for any occasion that calls for bacon.
Ingredients
- 1 lb high-quality pork bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Working with one piece of bacon at a time, firmly pinch the bacon on both ends.
- Hold the bacon still with your non-dominant hand and use your dominant hand to twist the bacon until it’s curled from end to end.
- Transfer the twisted bacon to the prepared baking sheet and repeat until all the bacon strips are twisted.
- Bake in the middle rack of the preheated oven for 20 minutes then flip the bacon pieces and cook for an additional 20 minutes or until brown and crispy.
- Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite breakfast or brunch items and enjoy!
