Bacon Breadsticks

* 1/2 pound thin-sliced bacon
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 box (4.4 ounces) garlic breadsticks

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 F.

2. Place a metal baking rack inside a shallow 10 x 15-inch baking tray.

3. Slice each bacon strip in half lengthwise.

4. Sprinkle one side with grated Parmesan cheese.

5. Wrap the bacon strips spirally around each breadstick.

6. Place on horizontal to the wires on the baking rack so they don't fall through.
