BACON ROSES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. This will be the tray that holds the bacon and allows grease to drip. Roll bacon into rose buds and wrap aluminum foil around the bottom, leaving a small hole for the grease to escape, then place them on the cooling rack. Put roses in the oven for 30-40 minutes. While the bacon cooks, remove the heads of the fake roses, leaving the top of the stem and leaves intact. Insert toothpicks through the top of the stem, this will give the bacon some stability when you assemble the flowers. Remove bacon from oven once they're nice and crisp. Unwrap the aluminum foil and allow pieces to cool completely. Place bacon buds on flower stems and arrange in a vase.

BACON WRAPPED POTATO ROSES -

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Peel potatoes, if desired, and slice lengthwise between 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness using a mandoline or vegetable slicer. Remove rosemary leaves from the stem and chop. In a bowl, combine potatoes, garlic powder, black pepper, rosemary, and olive oil. Toss well to coat the potato slices. Place 2 pieces of bacon on a work surface. Arrange potato slices along one edge so they are slightly overlapping. Sprinkle evenly with parmesan cheese. Carefully roll up the bacon and potatoes to form a rose, then put it in the cup of a muffin pan. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Gently fan out the potato slice petals. Bake for 70 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and the edges are crispy. If the potatoes start to brown too quickly, cover the pan with foil and continue baking until done.

• optional - you can add your brown sugar or any other seasoning choices onto the bacon before you roll it up.

• Arrange the bacon on your air fryer tray and place into your air fryer.
• Set the timer for 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes, gently flip your bacon roses.
