Ingredients

6 Strips bacon

Instructions

Preheat oven or air fryer to 350-375ºF (180-190ºC).
Slice the bacon strips in half lengthwise.
Begin to roll the bacon from one end to the other. Allow the edge to roll over to give a more full, realistic look.
Place the bacon roses into small silicone ice cube trays, or something similar, to help them hold their shape as you bake them. If you are using tiny muffin tins to hold the bacon roses, you may need to add aluminum foil to the tins or use toothpicks to help keep them in place.
Bake the bacon roses in the oven until brown and crisp. If the tops of your roses are browning but the bottoms are still raw, flip them over to cook the bottoms for a few minutes.
When ready, remove the bacon roses from the oven/air fryer. Allow them to cool before removing any toothpicks or removing them from the trays.
