How to Make Honey And Lemon Pepper Bacon Twists

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unwrap 2 pounds of bacon.
  3. Using kitchen scissors, cut the bacon slab in half lengthwise.
  4. Cut each 6-inch bacon slice into approximately 1-1.5 inch strips from each end, towards the middle, leaving the center uncut. You should have approximately 60 strips.
  5. Tie the strips on each end into a knot. You should have 60 bacon knots.
  6. Place bacon knots on a baking sheet with raised sides.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ¼ cup honey and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  8. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, and microwave for another 30 seconds, or until heated through.
  9. Pour honey-lemon mixture evenly over bacon knots.
  10. Sprinkle generously with lemon pepper seasoning.
  11. Bake for 15 minutes, turning bacon knots with a fork every 5 minutes, until crispy.
  12. Remove from oven and place bacon twists on paper towels to drain excess grease.
  13. Pat with paper towels to remove excess grease.
  14. Serve warm and enjoy!
