Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for less heat. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.

  3. 3

    Make the Glaze

    In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Wrap the Jalapeños

    Take a half of the jalapeño and wrap it with a piece of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat until all jalapeños are wrapped.

  5. 5

    Glaze the Jalapeños

    Place the wrapped jalapeños on the wire rack. Brush the brown sugar glaze generously over each piece.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the glaze is bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your candied jalapeño bacon!
