Equipment
- Rimmed Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 12 oz. package of bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Twist a slice of bacon and place it onto a large rimmed baking sheet. To twist bacon, take a single piece of bacon and hold onto one end firmly. Using the other hand, twist the bacon into a tight spiral. These tighter twists really make a difference when baking.
- Place onto a baking sheet. Repeat until all pieces of bacon are twisted and on the baking sheet and the entire pack is used. Bacon can be set side by side but do not overlap or stack.
- Bake for 24-28 minutes or until crispy. Remember that bacon continues to harden after being removed from the oven, so as it gets closer to your desired level, remove and let sit for a few minutes.
- Remove the baking tray from the oven and use a metal spatula to loosen the cooked bacon from the pan. Drain bacon twist on a plate lined with a paper towel to rid of excess bacon grease. Serve the bacon straw immediately.
Notes
Expert Bacon Tips
- Bacon continues to harden as it is removed from heat, so once it’s out of the oven or air fryer, remember that it will begin to lose some of the greases and firm up. Depending on the kind of bacon you personally enjoy, this may mean adjusting time appropriately.
- Lucky for all of us, there are plenty of bacon options out there. You can easily use turkey bacon in this twisted bacon recipe, but it usually needs an adjusted cooking time backward a few minutes. Start checking around 20 minutes for the desired doneness.
- If you prefer easy clean-up, it is fine to add a piece of parchment paper to the baking sheet.
- No need to stretch and twist. Simply hold bacon with one hand, twist tightly, and place on sheet.
- The slight chewiness is perfect as a breakfast favorite, to add to an appetizer charcuterie board, or to enjoy as a keto-friendly snack.
- Bacon twirls can sit next to each other but not ON each other.
