SPICED BACON TWIST



Spiced Bacon Twist image

There is another similar recipe on here but doesn't have the added spices that I think make this so special. I do got this from another sight and made it for three very hungry Man-Cubs breakfast and they ALL rated it 5 stars. One called it "candy bacon" Hope you like it too. Nest time I'm thinking I'll cut back on the brown sugar as I had a LOT left over - but left it here as in the original recipe.

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1/2 orange, juiced
1 pound regular uncured bacon (not thick cut)
1/4 cup finely shredded Cheddar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • In a small saucepot, mix the maple syrup, red pepper flakes, orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
  • Line up the bacon slices on the wire rack and brush with the hot maple syrup mixture. Sprinkle some cheese on each piece of bacon. With a skewer in hand, fold the end of a piece of bacon in half lengthwise and press the skewer through the end. Do this to 4 pieces of bacon, spreading them out evenly across the skewer, and place the skewer on the baking sheet. Twist the bacon pieces into long spirals so as to create straws. Take another skewer and skewer the bottom of each piece of bacon to keep the bacon twisted. Do this to all the bacon.
  • Bake until the bacon browns, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly on the rack; the bacon will get crunchy as it sits. Serve immediately.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 1-pound piece slab bacon (not pre-sliced)
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack into the baking sheet. Coat the cooling rack with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the sugar, cayenne, paprika, 2 teaspoons pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a pie dish. Pour 1/2 cup of the maple syrup into a small bowl.
  • Brush both sides of each slice of bacon with maple syrup. Press the bacon, one slice at a time, into the brown sugar mixture to coat. Arrange on the greased wire rack. Sprinkle the bacon with the leftover brown sugar mixture.
  • Bake, rotating halfway through, until the bacon is cooked and the sugar is dark and caramelized, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the bacon to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool completely. (Bacon can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.)
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the red pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup in a small bowl. Drizzle the bacon with the red pepper-maple syrup or serve on the side for dipping.
