Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bacon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
- Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bacon slices.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the glaze is caramelized. Keep a close eye on it as the sugar can burn quickly.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- For an extra spicy kick, add a pinch more cayenne pepper.
- Ensure bacon is evenly coated for a consistent flavor.
- Watch closely during baking to prevent burning.
