Original Hack

Ingredients

• 12 slices Bacon (thick‑cut works best, room temperature)
• 1 tablespoon Everything‑But‑The‑Bagel Seasoning (store‑bought or homemade blend of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried onion, dried garlic, and salt)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it fully preheat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 400°F

2. Prepare Baking Sheet

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silicone mat). If using a cooling rack, place it on top of the parchment.

   Time: PT2M

3. Twist the Bacon

   Take one slice of bacon, hold one end, and start twisting it tightly or loosely depending on desired texture. Form a loose spiral and gently lay it on the prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining slices, spacing them about ½ inch apart.

   Time: PT5M

4. Season

   Sprinkle the Everything‑But‑The‑Bagel seasoning evenly over the twisted bacon.

   Time: PT1M

5. Bake

   Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 40 minutes for crispy bacon. For a chewier texture, bake for 30 minutes and check for doneness.

   Time: PT40M

   Temperature: 400°F

6. Cool and Serve

   Remove the bacon from the oven, transfer to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to absorb excess fat, and let cool 2‑3 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

   Time: PT2M
