Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound thick-cut bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Position racks in the top and bottom of the oven. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil and set cooling racks into the baking sheets.
  • Using your fingers, crumble together the brown sugar, smoked paprika and several grinds of black pepper on a plate. Dredge the bacon on both sides in the brown sugar mixture, rubbing so the sugar adheres. Arrange the slices on the racks without touching.
  • Bake until the bacon is crisp and caramelized, flipping the slices and rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, about 20 minutes total. Let the slices cool on the racks, turning once or twice so they don't stick.

Tips:

  • Cook the bacon over medium heat. This will help to render the fat and prevent the bacon from burning.
  • Flip the bacon halfway through cooking to ensure that it cooks evenly on both sides.
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels before serving to remove any excess grease.
  • For a sweeter bacon, sprinkle it with brown sugar before cooking.
  • For a spicier bacon, sprinkle it with chili powder or cayenne pepper before cooking.
  • For a smoky bacon, cook it over a wood fire or in a smoker.
  • Bacon can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
