Commonly Asked Questions About Making Twisted Bacon

– What is Twisted bacon? Twisted bacon is bacon that’s been twisted before cooking. Twisting it gives it a combination of crispy crunchy edges and soft bacon goodness.

– Is Twist Bacon Keto? Yes it is Keto. Bacon only has 1 g of Carbs per piece, making it a great keto option.

– Why Do People Twist their Bacon? People twist their bacon because it makes it extra crispy and delicious and it’s way more fun to eat. 

– How Long do you bake Twisted Bacon in the oven for? Twisted bacon gets bakes for between 25 and 30 minutes, depending on your choice of crispiness. 

– What type of bacon is best for making Twisted Bacon with? I like using regular cut bacon because it gets a little more crispy than thick bacon, which I prefer. If you use thick cut bacon you get more a soft and chewy middle with a crispy outside. It comes down to personal preference which of the two is better.

Recipe Notes:

– Using a thicker baking pan is important for this recipe because a thin baking pan could warp in the oven causing the grease to spill onto the bottom. A larger lasagne type pan is also a good option to keep the grease from spilling.

– You can make as many bacon twists as you need to. Some packs have less then 12 pieces. In that case just make as many as comes in the pack. Also you can make just a few pieces at a time if needed. A toaster oven is a great option for this.

– Placing the finished bacon twists onto a piece of paper towel helps remove some of the excess grease.

– If you have a hard time twisting the bacon, you can try using a chop stick to tightly twist the bacon around. Then just pull the chop stick out before cooking.

– It’s best to use Parchment paper Not waxed paper. You can also use a baking rack over a baking pan, or a non greased cookie sheet if preferred.

– Transferring the bacon to a fresh piece of parchment paper halfway through baking helps get the bacon extra crispy.
