In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix until well combined.

Using a brush or your fingers, generously apply the brown sugar mixture over the bacon slices.

Bake the Bacon
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
