Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to catch drippings, then place a wire rack on top of the sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, lemon pepper seasoning, and ground black pepper until well combined. This will create a glaze for the bacon.
Take each slice of bacon and twist it tightly along its length to form a spiral. Place the twisted bacon slices onto the wire rack, leaving a bit of space between each one for even cooking.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, lightly coat each twisted bacon slice with the honey and lemon pepper glaze. Reserve about one-third of the glaze for after the baking process.
Bake the bacon twists in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to ensure they do not burn, as the honey can caramelize quickly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bacon twists cool for about 2-3 minutes. While still warm, brush them lightly with the remaining honey glaze for an extra layer of flavor.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness before serving.
Serve the Honey and Lemon Pepper Bacon Twists warm as a delicious appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
