Twisted Bacon

Twisted bacon makes the perfect combination of crispy crunchy bacon and soft bacon because the twist creates a tunnel – the inside of the twist is soft and tender and the outside edges end up being crisp. Somehow eating bacon that isn’t in it’s regular form factor makes it even more delicious

How to make twisted bacon

Making twisted bacon is seriously the easiest thing ever.

  1. Heat the oven. You’ll want a 350°F oven so heat up your oven while you’re twisting your bacon.
  2. Line a baking sheet. Line a rimmed baking sheet (super important, make sure it’s rimmed so the bacon fat doesn’t spill everywhere) with parchment paper. This is so the bacon doesn’t stick to the pan and it also makes it easy to clean up.
  3. Twist the bacon. Take a strip of bacon and hold one edge down with one hand and use your other hand to twist it up. Place it on the baking sheet and repeat.
  4. Bake. Pop the bacon into the oven and bake until crispy, flipping halfway.
  5. Enjoy. That’s it! Use a pair of tongs to remove the twists from the baking sheet onto a wire rack or paper towels to let some of the bacon fat drain off then enjoy.
