Method
Preparation
Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by gathering all the ingredients. If the bacon is not already sliced, slice it into strips about 1/2 inch wide. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Mix the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine black pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until evenly blended.
Cooking
Arrange the Bacon
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the bacon strips, ensuring that each piece is well-coated.
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and browned to your liking. Check the bacon after 15 minutes to avoid burning.
Drain and Serve
Once the bacon is cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use tongs to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve warm.
