You'll never go back once you taste this TikToker's bacon hack!
Old Bridge, New Jersey - Bacon's salty flavor has been added to everything from chips to birthday cakes – but one TikTok is making waves among food lovers with an ingenious and mouth-watering recipe.
In a video on her TikTok page ketoaccountable, the passionate hobby cook presents her "Twisted candied Bacon".
Here's how easy it is: take store-bought slices of bacon, still raw, and twist them with your fingers until they form a twisted bacon rope (see video).
Keto Accountable recommends doing this as tightly as possible, otherwise the finished bacon strips may become tough instead of crispy.
The TikToker then reveals that she dips the twisted strips into a bowl of brown sugar as the secret ingredient.
It's best to place the bacon directly into the bowl and then gently sprinkle the sugar on top. Make sure the "twisted bacon" doesn't untwist itself again – this is where a delicate touch is needed.
Then the next bacon strips follow. The finished ones then go into the oven at 400 °F for 50 minutes.
If you don't like it quite so dark and crispy, you can take the bacon twists out a few minutes earlier.
TikTok users rave about delicious recipe
The result is something to behold, with the brown sugar adding an extra sweet note to the bacon, giving the baked bacon a crispy, shiny appearance.
The majority of users are excited about the recipe. "I love this! I'm terrible at cooking bacon, I'm definitely going to give this a try," one person wrote.
One user has even tested it out, summing up, "Great idea, I tried it and it's so good, plus it doesn't smoke up the whole house like frying it in a pan."
