Follow our do-it-yourself instructions for making these tasty little bites of goodness for the bacon lovers in your family. A family-fun activity that’s sure to make Dad’s day.
Step One: Assemble Your Materials
10 artificial roses (either individual or a bouquet)
1 tall vase
1 lb. thick cut bacon
Aluminum foil
Toothpicks
Kitchen shears
Baking sheet and cooking rack
Step Two: Cook the Bacon
- Use your kitchen shears to trim the fatty part off of each strip of bacon
- Roll up the slice keeping the meaty part on top of the roll
- Insert 2 toothpicks crossways on the bottom of each roll to hold them together while cooking
- Trim the bottom to create a flat surface for them to sit them on
- Place on a cooling rack placed inside a foil-lined baking sheet
- Put in the middle of a 400 degree oven and cook for 20 minutes
- Turn them over and cook an addition 5 minutes upside down to crisp the bottoms
Step Three: Create Your Roses
- Pull the petals off the stems (if the prong comes off, just push it back onto the stem)
- Remove the toothpicks and pop the bacon roses onto the stem
- Serve them up while they’re still hot (or rewarm in the microwave)
