Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack over the baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Mix the Cola Marinade

    In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cola, brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Stir until the brown sugar is dissolved and all ingredients are well mixed.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Bacon

    Take the bacon slices and dip them into the cola marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Allow the bacon to marinate for at least 15 minutes; for a stronger flavor, you can marinate it for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bacon

    Arrange the marinated bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once done, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm as a tasty side dish.
