Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the bacon strips.

  3. 3

    Bake the Bacon

    Lay the seasoned bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Check regularly to avoid burning.

  4. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve warm.
