INGREDIENTS
- 1kg SunPork Fresh Foods Bacon Rashers
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 tsp. onion powder
- 2 tsp. chilli powder
- Toothpicks
- 12 fake roses
How to make it
- Pre-heat fan forced oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place a wire rack over the top.
- Take two strips of bacon and place them on top of each other. Start tightly rolling from one end to form a rose. Secure with two toothpicks in a cross pattern close to the bottom. Place upright on the wire rack and repeat with the remaining bacon.
- Combine all the spices in a bowl, then sprinkle over the bacon roses. Place in the oven and bake for 20-30 mins until the bacon is cooked and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- While the bacon is cooking, prepare the rose stems. Remove the flower bulbs from the stem exposing a small wire, taking care not to remove any leaves. Clean the wire thoroughly.
- Once the bacon has cooled, carefully pierce the bacon onto the wire of the stem and repeat with all the roses.
- Serve to someone you love (that can include yourself) and enjoy!
NOTE: Remove the bacon from the stem before consuming to avoid any injuries.
