This technique is fun to get the kids involved. This gives the bacon a slight different texture. Crisp yet chewy. For a little added smokiness and heat do try this method with Oven Cooked Bacon With Black Pepper and Brown Sugar. Easy clean up!!!!!!

Ingredients

1 lb lean bacon
1/2-2 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
2 teaspoons brown sugar (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2
Lay bacon on pan covered with foil and sprinkle generously with black pepper, and brown sugar then twist each strip and lay in rows on foil.

Bake 10 minutes then drain fat from pan, bake 5 more minutes if needed or until it's as crisp as you like.
4
Place on a paper towel to remove grease.

Wonderful presentation for bacon - looked like little twigs on the plate!! Flavour was really good, although I probably used about 6-8 tsp of brown sugar, & the twisting gave it a chewier, crispier texture. It was very easy to twist the bacon & it stayed that way on the pan.

Fun, yummy "twist" to the already delicous breakfast side kick bacon! We already love your Oven Cooked Bacon With Black Pepper and Brown Sugar so I decided to see what "twisting" the bacon would do for the texture. I used a premium bacon ( not thick sliced however) and one end was thicker than the other and would not twist as well. Next time, I will try this with a store brand bacon that I know is thinner and see if it will twist better. I did sprinkle it with the black pepper, brown sugar and also added a little pinch of cayenne. Loved that little touch of heat with the sweetness of the sugar! I will be making this again when my BF's little nephew comes to visit... I am sure he will love helping make all of us breakfast!
