Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper to catch the drippings, and place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Take one slice of thick-cut bacon and, starting at one end, twist it tightly. Continue twisting until the entire slice resembles a spiral rope.
Lay the twisted bacon strip on the wire rack. Repeat the twisting process for all the other slices of bacon, spacing them evenly apart on the rack to allow proper air circulation.
Place the baking sheet with the twisted bacon into the preheated oven.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired crispness. Keep in mind that it will crisp up slightly more as it cools.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the twisted bacon to cool on the rack for about 5 minutes.
Serve immediately as a breakfast side, appetizer, or snack. Enjoy!
