This candied bacon is basically Heavenly. The fact that it is low-carb means you can indulge in a slice (or 2) without any guilt! The salty bacon is covered in caramelized sugar-free maple syrup. There is an undertone of heat from the red pepper flakes and chili powder that makes these twists irresistible!

If you think you have a favorite low-carb snack, think again! These are about to surprise you!

I love giving food as gifts! This is another option to add to your holiday treats tray or to place in a decorative tin wrapped in parchment paper. Even if the people you share gifts with aren’t on the keto diet, they will love these bacon twists! Kids, teens, adults – everyone loves them.

I like sharing them with my kids, knowing they aren’t going to be eating tons of sugar as they munch on them.  

Bacon Low-Carb Snack 

You’ll create new excuses to eat them. Add them to your breakfast. They taste delicious on the side with some keto breakfast roll-ups.

Or, save them for a sweet and spicy snack after dinner. In fact, they taste amazing crumbled on top of this low-carb pumpkin pecan custard. To save on carbs, just replace the pecans with candied bacon! Talk about delicious! 

Candied Bacon In The Oven 

These low-carb candied bacon twists are easy party food that everyone will love. They won’t be able to tell that they are sugar-free. To serve them at a party, stand them up in a decorated mason jar or lay them out on a pretty tray. They are so beautiful that everyone will eat them up!

They only take about 3o minutes in the oven. I suggest lining your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. These make a mess on baking sheets and the foil will make cleaning up so much easier. 

Keeping them twisted is the tricky part. The best way that I found to do that is to use toothpicks to hold them down. 

Candied Bacon Air Fryer 

You can also make them in the air fryer. One word of warning – they kinda make a mess in the air fryer. It’s still possible! Just cook them at 375 for about 30 minutes, turning them over halfway through the cooking time.

I think that making candied bacon twists makes them look magical, but the twisting is actually optional. If you are running behind, you can just make candied bacon strips. They will still have the same spicy sweet taste!
