A tasty and entertaining take on classic bacon is twisted bacon. The cayenne pepper adds a light heat for those who prefer their food spicy, and the brown sugar adds a sweet, caramelized crunch. It's the ideal snack or appetizer for any situation.
Ingredients: 12 slices of bacon. 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper optional.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 375F 190C. Arrange a wire rack on top of an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Combine the brown sugar and cayenne if using in a small bowl. Gently twist a piece of bacon into a spiral shape. Continue with the leftover bacon slices. Coat each twisted bacon slice evenly on both sides by dipping it into the brown sugar mixture. Arrange the bacon twists that have been coated onto the baking sheet's wire rack. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the bacon is crisp and caramelized. Before serving, take out of the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Savor the flavor of your twisted bacon!
