Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your bacon cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.
- 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
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
