Best Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bacon Skewers Recipes

BACON SKEWERS WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a lipped baking pan with foil (it's important that it is lipped) and put a metal rack on top if using one.
• n a small mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, apple juice and cinnamon. Set aside. The sugar will settle to become more liquid within a few minutes.
• Take the bacon from the package and thread the bacon onto the skewers. Set the bacon skewers evenly onto the foiled lined baking sheet. Take a spoon, fork or basting brush and spread a generous amount of the glaze on each side of the bacon skewers. Make sure to get each side so that the whole bacon skewer is covered.
• Place the baking sheet into the oven and cook for 20 minutes or until your bacon is cooked to your liking. 20 minutes should get them nice and crisped up.
• Take the bacon skewers out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
• Serve on a platter or my favorite... in a vase as a centerpiece. Enjoy!

CURLY CANDIED BACON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Put a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Cut the bacon slices in half. Fold each half of the bacon in an "S" pattern upon itself a few times and thread each one onto a wooden skewer.
• Place the bacon skewers on the prepared wire rack.
• Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture on the bacon skewers.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the skewers and sprinkle on some more of the sugar mixture. Cook for 20 minutes more.
• Remove the bacon skewers from the oven and flip them over. Taste one skewer. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of the remaining spice mixture on the bacon skewers.
• Serve the skewers just as they are or add on garnishes, such as olives and cherry tomatoes, before popping them in your cocktail!

CARAMELIZED BACON TWISTS

Twist 2 or 3 times, then place in prepared pan. Bake until browned and crisp, 15-20 minutes. Freeze option: Freeze cooled bacon twists in freezer containers, separating layers with waxed paper.

BROWN SUGAR BACON TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; soak 12 bamboo skewers in warm water (so they won't burn in oven).
• Line the bottom of broiler a pan with foil for ease of cleaning, then top with broiler-pan rack.
• Mix together brown sugar (or heat-stable sugar substitute, for diabetics and lowcarbers), mustard powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Pour onto waxed paper and lightly shake paper to spread mixture evenly.
• One strip at a time, press the bacon into the sugar mixture to coat.
• Twist each piece of coated bacon into a bamboo skewer and place on broiler-pan rack.

BROWN SUGAR-CINNAMON BACON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
• Lay strips of bacon flat and rub with half the sugar mixture.
• Turn strips over and repeat with the remaining sugar mixture.
• Wrap each piece of bacon tightly around a skewer.
• Transfer to the broiler pan (do not use a cookie sheet, it will not work).
• Bake until crisp and a lovely brown, about 20-25 minutes. No oven temp was given in the book but I'd say @350 until golden.
• Transfer bacon to a wire rack.
• These can be served warm or at room temperature. Arrange in a napkin-lined basket for a nice presentation.
