Amanda Formaro's video: Bacon Twists

Caramelized brown sugar and a kick of heat with cayenne pepper is a mouth-watering combination to twist into tender-crisp oven-baked bacon. The results are sweet, spicy, and the perfect in-between of chewy and crispy bacon twists. RECIPE AND INSTRUCTIONS! - https://amandascookin.com/bacon-twists/ Ingredients 2 pounds thick-cut bacon 2 Tablespoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper Instructions Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a large baking tray with a piece of parchment paper. Twist each slice of bacon as tightly as possible and arrange them next to each other on the prepared tray. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cayenne pepper evenly on top of the twisted bacon. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the bacon and bake for another 20 minutes or until crispy. Notes You can drain off excess grease by transferring the cooked bacon to a wire rack placed over a baking tray or a paper towel-lined plate. Feel free to play with the amounts of brown sugar and cayenne pepper to suit your tastes! This recipe yields bacon with a good balance of sweet and spicy flavors. If you can’t find parchment paper that can withstand this temperature, you can use foil or a silpat baking mat to line your baking tray instead. You could also leave the tray unlined, but the caramelized sugar will likely be hard to scrub off.
