Air Fryer Bacon Roses
Air fryer bacon roses are the perfect edible gift for Valentines Day, Fathers Day, Mother's Day, or even just a Wednesday! Ready in just 10 minutes, these bacon roses can be bundled together for a delicious bouquet for the bacon lover in your life.
Ingredients
- 12 slices medium to thick cut bacon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F
- Take each piece of bacon, one at a time, and lay it out vertically in front of you.
- Starting at the end closest to you, roll the bacon up. Don't make it a perfect roll or your roses will look like buds and not roses.
- optional - you can add your brown sugar or any other seasoning choices onto the bacon before you roll it up.
- Use a toothpick to hold the rolled up bacon together. As it cooks and the fat renders, it will hold shape on its own.
- Add a pinch of brown sugar to each rose.
- 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.
- Set the timer for an additional 5 minutes. After a total of 10 minutes, check on your bacon roses. Depending on your air fryer, and thickness of bacon, you may have to add an additional minute or two.
- Once cooked, remove from air fryer to cool.
- Once cool to the touch, insert a skewer into the "bottom" of the rose. The bottom is the end that looks less like petals.
- You can now use twine to combine the roses into a bouquet!
- Gift to a bacon lover!
