Spiced bacon twists are a delicious twist on traditional bacon, perfect for a weekend brunch or a special occasion breakfast. The combination of brown sugar, dry mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper creates a sweet and spicy coating that caramelizes in the oven, resulting in mouthwatering bacon twists that are crispy and flavorful. These twists can be served on their own or paired with eggs, toast, or your favorite breakfast sides.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375°F.
2.	In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, dry mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
3.	Take each slice of bacon and twist it into a spiral. Place the twisted bacon in the spice mixture and coat it well on both sides.
4.	Place the bacon twists on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5.	Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the brown sugar mixture is caramelized.
6.	Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
