Brown Sugar Bacon Twists

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

How good do these brown sugar bacon twists look!? These combine the salty, savory flavor of bacon, and some sweet brown sugar glazing. Bacon drenched in maple syrup is really good, but this is better: brown sugar glazed bacon or candied bacon! Whatever you want to call it. These oven baked brown sugar bacon twists are sweet and sugary, yet smokey and savory. This is the perfect addition to your morning breakfast and is quite easy to make, just twist, sprinkle and bake! This would be great if you are on Keto, Weight Watchers, or nothing at all.

You know what they say.. breakfast is an important meal. The most important meal of the day therefore we are going to make it a good one. Quick breakfasts are a favorite for me, who wants to cook forever when they are rushing out the door and already late for work. This could also work as a sweet and salty dessert recipe.


How to Lower the Points / Calories

Use a different type of bacon! I haven't tried it but you can certainly try turkey bacon.


What You Need To Make Brown Sugar Bacon Twists

Ingredients:

  • Bacon - Use your favorite bacon - thick cut bacon, turkey bacon, but I use regular bacon
  • Brown Sugar Replacement but you can use regular

Yes, that is it. How easy. I use brown sugar replacement, but you can use regular if you wish. I use regular bacon but you can also sub turkey. You can add some salt or salt and pepper but I do not think that is necessary. Add some cinnamon for some cinnamon sugar bacon.


How To Make Brown Sugar Bacon Twists

How do we make these oven baked brown sugar bacon twists? Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking tray with cooking spray. Grab each end of a piece of bacon with each hand and twist until the bacon is completely twisted. Arrange the bacon on the baking tray and repeat for each piece of bacon that you want to make.

baked

Sprinkle each piece of bacon with about 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. You can adjust this depending on how sweet you want them. Then just bake for 30 minutes.

Transfer the bacon to a paper towel or wire rack / cooling rack if you want to drain some of the grease.

Cooking On The Stove:

I also make this on the stove, you cannot twist them, they fall apart but you can still do the brown sugar part. Just preheat a pan and grease with cooking spray. Add the piece of bacon and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Let the sugar melt and cook the bacon a little. Flip every few minutes until fully cooked. It takes less than 20. minutes on the stove, probably more like 5 minutes!

I have not tried this out in the air fryer, I prefer squishy bacon so the air fryer would be better if you like crunchy bacon.

Which Method?

The oven method takes longer but is easier. Just pop it in the oven and go. The stovetop method takes less time, is not as pretty and a lot more high maintenance (but hey, so am I). Also, with the stovetop, you cannot cook a huge batch.
