The Ingredients
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s make sure you have everything you need.
- 12 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
The Recipe
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay your bacon strips flat on the sheet. Make sure there’s a bit of space between each strip.
In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of each bacon strip. Press the mixture down gently to make sure it adheres to the bacon.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has caramelized. If you prefer your bacon less crispy, reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.
Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
