Grilling allows excess fat to drip away while creating delicious charred flavors, making it an ideal cooking method for PCOS-friendly meals. This recipe pairs well with a side of leafy greens or a simple mixed salad to add extra fiber and micronutrients to your snack.
Ingredients
- 6 Slices Thick Cut Bacon
- 5 tsp. Erythritol
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- Get your favorite baking sheet out that has some kind of lips around it. We want to make sure the grease from the bacon doesn’t slide off into the stove.
- Tear a piece of foil off to cover the baking sheet and secure it in place.
- On the baking sheet, pour about 5 tsp. of Erythritol. We’ll be using this to coat the bacon.
- Get your bacon ready. Press the bacon into the Erythritol on both sides to cover it well
- Line your bacon on a wired grill so that the grease can drip down below. This also allows the convection to cook the bacon on the bottom.
- If you’d like to, you can crimp the bacon by running it through the holes in the grill. This will give a wavy effect once the bacon is cooked.
- Once all your bacon is finished being coated, make sure it can’t fall through any of the holes.
- Stick your bacon in the oven. It will take around 40 minutes to cook if you are not using thick sliced bacon. If you’re using thick sliced bacon it will take about 50-55 minutes.
- Once your bacon is browned and shiny, take it out of the oven.
- Let your bacon cool for 10 minutes and it’s ready to use!
