Right Back Spatula Peppered Candied Bacon
The most addictive bacon made with only 4 ingredients. This bacon should be a requirement at every brunch. Try adding this to a salad or even a Bloody Mary.
Ingredients
- thick cut bacon
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper
- cayenne pepper [optional]
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- For easy cleanup, line baking sheet with 13x9 foil. Place a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet so that the bacon grease drips to the bottom of the pan.
- Add bacon slices on top of the rack.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the maple syrup, brown sugar, and pepper(s). Using a spoon, drizzle some maple syrup mixture over every slice. Use a brush to evenly coat each slice.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove bacon from the oven and flip. Coat each slice with maple syrup mixture and return to the oven. Flip every 15-20 minutes until desired crispiness.
- Immediately transfer to a serving dish otherwise the bacon will harden to the cooling rack.
