Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the bacon will cook evenly and the sugar will caramelize properly.
Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This allows the grease to drip off the bacon while it cooks.
Mix the Sugar and Spices
In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cooking
Arrange the Bacon
Place the coated bacon strips in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure the slices do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Bake the Bacon
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Cool the Bacon
Once the bacon is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool on the wire rack for at least 5 minutes. The bacon will become even crispier as it cools.
