1
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top.
2
Mix the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, black pepper, maple syrup, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until you have a paste.
3
Coat the Bacon
Lay the thick-cut bacon strips on the wire rack in a single layer. Using a spoon or brush, evenly spread the sugar mixture over the bacon.
4
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
5
Cool and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and allow it to cool on the rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your thick cut bacon!
