Recipe Overview
Overview
Bacon Bangles take the beloved onion ring to a whole new level. By using large onion rings as the base, you create a sturdy structure that can hold a generous amount of sausage, making each bite a delightful experience. The key is to choose the largest onion you can find, which not only provides a great base but also enhances the overall flavor profile.
Wrapping the onion rings in thin bacon is crucial for achieving that perfect crispiness. Thick bacon can be challenging to work with, often resulting in uneven cooking. By using thin bacon, you ensure that every bite is evenly cooked and deliciously crispy. The process may seem a bit labor-intensive, but the end result is worth it. These bangles are not just a dish; they are a fun culinary experience.
The accompanying maple cracked pepper aioli adds a sweet and spicy kick that complements the savory flavors of the bacon and sausage. This sauce is easy to whip up and can be customized with different types of maple syrup for added depth. Whether served as an appetizer at a party or a unique snack during game day, Bacon Bangles are sure to impress.
Overall, this recipe is a fantastic way to elevate a classic dish and make it your own. With a little creativity and some quality ingredients, you can create a memorable dish that will have everyone talking.
