Sweet And Spicy Candied Bacon
Spicy Brown Sugar Bacon adds a delicious sweet and spicy twist to your breakfast! Inspired by the Millionaire Bacon Recipe, I absolutely love how cayenne pepper and brown sugar take the simple bacon to the next level. If you’re looking for an easy and flavor-packed bacon recipe, my Candied Bacon Recipe is the one to try!
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb. bacon I prefer thin slices, but use your favorite.
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or more if you want spicier
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium glass bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Set aside.3 tablespoons dark brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Do not preheat the oven.
- Cover a rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil and set the cooling rack on the cookie sheet. Spray a cooling rack with cooking spray. Now you are ready to place the bacon on the rack.NOTE: Cleaning up is much easer using aluminum foil for baking.
- Drape the bacon across the cooling rack with a little space between strips. If you need to cut some of the bacon in half to fill in the spaces, that is fine.1 lb. bacon
- Place the bacon on your oven’s middle rack and turn the oven to 375°. Bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, take out the bacon, flip each slice over and sprinkle with the brown sugar mixture on each slice of bacon. Bake for another 15-20 minutes. Watch closely for the last 5 minutes – it can burn quickly.
- Once baking is over, let them cool a bit (bacon should cool down a bit to set sugar) and then serve. Enjoy!
