Twisted Bacon

This dangerously addictive twisted bacon is the perfect combination of crispy crunchy edges and soft bacon goodness.

I may be late, but I finally tried the TikTok-inspired recipe for twisted bacon (also known as bacon twists), after enjoying it at my friend Tiffany’s house. After looking online (because I don’t have TikTok), some recipes instructed baking it directly on the baking sheet, while others thought it’s healthier to cook it on a wire rack so it doesn’t soak in its own grease. I chose to go the healthier route and bake it on the wire rack, and it turned out both crispy and soft, which was perfect for us! This twisted bacon is especially delicious dipped in soft-boiled eggs or baked eggs.

Twisted Bacon

Ingredients:

• 1 package of bacon

Equipment:

• Aluminum foil
• Rimmed Baking Sheet

How to Make Twisted Bacon

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. For easier cleanup, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Place a wire rack in the baking sheet (optional).

Twist each slice of bacon very tightly, then place it on the wire rack, if using. If you aren’t using a rack, put them on the foil-lined baking sheet with the pieces touching so they don’t untwist.

Place into the oven to bake for 20 minutes.

Flip over and bake for another 20 minutes, or until crispy-soft and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and transfer to a paper towel to drain. Serve and enjoy.

Side Note: Store any leftover twisted bacon in an airtight container for 3 days.
