Instructions
1
Prepare the Braai
Heat your braai (BBQ) to medium heat. Ensure the coals are ready and evenly distributed.
2
Assemble the Oopsies
Take one glacé cherry and wrap it tightly in a strip of bacon.
Secure with a toothpick or skewer. Repeat until all the cherries and bacon are used.
3
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.
4
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.
5
Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the grill and serve immediately as a snack or appetiser.
