Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
- Prepare the Bacon:
- Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Mix the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, maple syrup, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to form a thick paste.
- Apply the Glaze:
- Using a brush or spoon, evenly coat each bacon slice with the glaze. Be sure to coat both sides for maximum flavor.
- Bake the Bacon:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized to your preference. Monitor closely during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the bacon from the oven and allow it to cool on the wire rack for a few minutes. This helps the glaze set.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
