Prepare the Bacon
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lay the smoked bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Mix the Topping
In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until combined. Fold in the toasted pecans.

Coat the Bacon
Sprinkle the brown sugar and pecan mixture evenly over the bacon slices, making sure to cover each slice generously.

Bake the Bacon
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the topping is caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Cool and Serve
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the praline bacon cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, break apart any pieces that may have stuck together and serve warm.
