Candied Bacon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon

    Lay the strips of applewood smoked bacon side by side on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.

  3. 3

    Mix the Topping

    In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, pepper blend, and hot honey to form a sticky mixture.

  4. 4

    Coat the Bacon

    Generously sprinkle the brown sugar mix over the bacon strips, ensuring an even coating.

  5. 5

    Bake the Bacon

    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.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as a sweet and savory snack or appetizer.
