How to Make Bacon Roses
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the bacon: Lay out bacon slices on a clean surface. Gently roll each slice of bacon tightly from one end to the other, creating a ‘bud’ shape.
- Secure the roses: Insert two toothpicks into the base of each bacon roll, crisscrossing them to keep the roll secure and allow it to stand upright.
- Bake the roses: Place the bacon roses onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and browned to your liking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Cool and assemble: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bacon roses cool slightly. Carefully remove the toothpicks.
- Add stems: Insert a short wooden skewer into the base of each bacon rose to create a stem. Arrange the roses in a small vase or container filled with fresh greenery for a stunning presentation.
