Season for Extra Flavour (Optional)

Lightly sprinkle OZ Braai Awesome Spice over the Oopsies. For a sweet, smoky flavour, use Sweet and Smoky. For a spicy twist, opt for Very Peri.

Grill to Perfection

Place the Oopsies directly on the braai grid or use a grill basket like the OZ Braai Travel Braai.
Grill for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
