INGREDIENTS NOTES:
BACON:
- We can use thick-cut bacon for optimal crispiness and texture. Thin bacon can become too oily and cook too rapidly. You can substitute turkey bacon if you want a healthier option, but be aware that it might not be as crispy.
JALAPENO PEPPER:
- I add the jalapeno poppers to these bites; it gives them a spicy kick to these bites. We can adjust the spice level in this recipe by using the seeds if we prefer mild, or without seeds if we want more spice.
SMOKED PAPRIKA AND GARLIC POWDER:
- Smoked paprika and garlic powder are two spices that enhance flavor. The bacon and the delicate smokiness of the smoked paprika go hand in hand. You can add a pinch of chili powder for a little spice or change the flavor to the preferred level.
OLIVE OIL:
- We can apply the oil with the brush to make the rolls crispy. We could also utilize the liquefied butter for a deeper taste.
