Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your bacon cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top of the foil. This allows the fat to drip off the bacon while it cooks.

  3. 3

    Mix the Coating

    In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until well blended to create a thick paste.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Coat the Bacon

    Take each slice of thick-cut bacon and generously coat both sides with the sugar-spice mixture. Make sure each slice is well covered.

  2. 5

    Arrange on Rack

    Place the coated bacon slices on the wire rack in a single layer. Ensure they do not overlap to allow for even cooking.

  3. 6

    Bake the Bacon

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

  4. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the rack for a few minutes. It will become crispier as it cools. Serve warm as a delicious treat.
