Spiced Bacon Twists Recipes

SPICED BACON TWIST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack over the foil. Use a baking sheet that has sides to catch the grease.
• In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, mustard powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper.
• Press each slice of bacon into the mixture until coated.
• Twist each strip a few times and place on the prepared baking rack.
• Bake until bacon is browned and crisp enough to hold its shape, about 30 minutes.

SUNNY'S TWISTED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Take each strip of bacon and twist it along the length being careful to not stretch, just twist. Place the twisted strip on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the rest, nestling them close together on the baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, add the brown sugar, thyme, dry mustard, paprika, garlic powder and plenty of black pepper. Mix with a fork until combined.
• Sprinkle the sugar mixture all over the bacon. Bake for about 40 minutes. The twists will be slightly flimsy. Let the bacon cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes, loosening every 10 minutes so they don't stick to the baking sheet. They will firm up once cooled down.

CARAMELIZED BACON TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 15x10x1-in. pan with foil., In a shallow bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut bacon strips crosswise in half; dip in sugar mixture to coat. Twist 2 or 3 times, then place in prepared pan. Bake until browned and crisp, 15-20 minutes. Freeze option: Freeze cooled bacon twists in freezer containers, separating layers with waxed paper. If desired, reheat in a microwave oven or on a foil-lined baking sheet in a preheated 350° oven before serving.
