Method
Bacon Directions
- 1
Prepare the Bacon
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Arrange the Bacon
Place the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that the strips do not overlap.
- 3
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon. If using, also sprinkle ground cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- 4
Add Sweetness
Drizzle the brown sugar and maple syrup over the bacon strips, ensuring each strip is coated.
- 5
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Cool and Serve
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bacon cool on paper towels to absorb excess grease. Serve warm.
