Sweet and Spicy Bacon
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 1 pound bacon, thick cut
  • 8 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Cover two large cookie sheets with aluminum foil and place an oven-safe wire rack on top of each cookie sheet.
  3. Cut bacon into thirds and separate.
  4. Mix brown sugar, cayenne pepper and black pepper in a large bowl. Add back to bowl and coat each piece in the sugar mixture. Transfer bacon to the wire rack.
  5. Back for 30 to 35 minutes until crispy – watch carefully so bacon doesn’t burn.
  6. Transfer to paper towels to cool. Serve at room temperature. Can be stored in refrigerator for up to three days and brought to room temperature before serving.
Notes
Recipe can be doubled or tripled – you'll likely need to do it in batches. You should be able to do a little over a pound per batch (assuming you can fit two large cookie sheets in your oven at a time).
