Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the bacon cooks evenly and becomes crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Mix Brown Sugar Coating

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp of black pepper, and if desired, 1 tsp of cayenne pepper and 1 tsp of garlic powder. Mix well until combined.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Coat the Bacon

    Take each slice of Broadbent bacon and coat it generously with the brown sugar mixture on both sides.

  2. 5

    Arrange on Rack

    Place the coated bacon slices on the wire rack, ensuring they are not overlapping. This allows the fat to render and the sugar to caramelize evenly.

  3. 6

    Add Honey and Maple Syrup

    Drizzle the honey and maple syrup over the bacon slices, ensuring even coverage.

  4. 7

    Bake the Bacon

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on the bacon during the last few minutes to avoid burning.

Finishing Touches

  1. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes on the wire rack. This will allow it to crisp up even more. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
