Crispy Bacon Twists

Ingredients

• 1 pound Bacon (thick‑cut preferred, sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar (lightly sprinkled)
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground, sprinkled)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed from about half a lemon)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 375°F

2. Prepare Baking Sheet

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

   Time: PT1M

3. Arrange Bacon

   Lay the bacon strips flat on the parchment, side by side, without overlapping. If the strips are long, you can fold them into a loose “S” shape to create a twist.

   Time: PT2M

4. Season Bacon

   In a small bowl, combine the sugar and black pepper. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the bacon, then drizzle the fresh lemon juice over each strip.

   Time: PT2M

5. Bake

   Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30‑35 minutes, or until the bacon is bubbly, browned, and crisp. Rotate the sheet halfway through for even cooking.

   Time: PT35M

   Temperature: 375°F

6. Rest

   Remove the bacon twists from the oven and let them rest on the sheet for 3‑4 minutes. They will continue to crisp as they cool.

   Time: PT4M

7. Serve

   Transfer the bacon twists to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.

   Time: PT1M
