Place the thick-cut bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Arrange the Bacon

Generously sprinkle the espresso rub mixture over the bacon strips, ensuring they are well coated on both sides.

Apply the Rub

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.
