Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Coat the Bacon

    Lay the bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Brush the sugar mixture over each strip of bacon, coating them evenly.

  5. 5

    Bake the Bacon

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Check occasionally to prevent burning.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

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