How to make Sweet Bacon Roses

Bacon Roses are a yummy twist on the traditional floral gift! You’ll love how I easily perfected the really clever Bacon Roses with extra special touches.

Why pay for a Bacon Rose delivery? This is a quick appetizer and thoughtful idea for parties that is now a Father’s Day tradition in our home.


HOW TO MAKE PERFECT BACON ROSES

Begin by allowing your oven to preheat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit while you are creating your bacon rosebuds.

My bacon recipe calls for just two easy ingredients: Bacon and Brown Sugar. I prefer using 40% less fat bacon. I want the bacon to be fatty enough for the swirl of color, but keep it as healthy as possible.

You will also want to have wood skewers and toothpicks on hand, along with a muffin tin for baking. This is a sure-fire hit to surprise the loved ones in your life.

INGREDIENTS: Bacon & Brown Sugar.

MATERIALS: Skewers, Tooth Picks, Muffin Tin, Vase

STEP 1: Rolling Bacon Roses

Begin by threading your bacon though your skewer on one end, then roll up tightly about one-third of the way.

Now, here’s my special twist to really help our Bacon Roses look like roses. We simply twist our bacon strip clockwise to make the rose petals easily form little points. My video tutorial helps you see the exact motion and direction I twirled to make my bacon flowers look so realistic.

Lastly, secure with a toothpick or two on the bottom of your rose. Continue rolling the rest of your bacon roses, then place them in a muffin tin. This is my favorite way to bake them. Your rosebuds remain standing upward as they are sizzling and baking in their own juices.


STEP 2: Make Bacon Sweet

My special ingredient is to lightly sprinkle them with a pinch of brown sugar. The small amount of sugar crystallizes and melts into your bacon. This makes them extra delicious and sweet, just like a real rose!

Looking to make candied bacon roses? Dip and smother them into a lot of brown sugar for a hard candy coating.


STEP 3: Bake Bacon Roses in the Oven

Bake in your preheated oven of375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

Once they have cooled, place them on your skewers and create your bouquet. I like using small mason and milk jars as vases to easily display them upright.


I hope you enjoyed my first little cooking recipe and are inspired to whip up some Bacon Roses, too!
