Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- 2
Prepare the Bacon
Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- 3
Mix the Coating
In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt.
- 4
Coat the Bacon
Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the bacon strips, ensuring they are well coated.
- 5
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent burning.
- 6
Cool and Serve
Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring it to a serving plate. The bacon will harden as it cools.
