SWEET AND SPICY BACON



Sweet and Spicy Bacon image

You may not have bacon any other way again! The bacon must be cooked on a rack, I use a cookie rack placed on a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet, it works well, or use a broiler pan.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 41m

Yield 1 pound bacon

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons brown sugar (no packed)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb thick-cut bacon

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small cup stir together brown sugar, cayenne and black pepper.
  • Arrange the bacon slices on a large broiler pan and place on the second-lowest oven rack.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  • Turn the slices over and sprinkle with spiced sugar mix.
  • Place back in the oven and continue baking until crisp and brown (about 15-20 minutes more).
  • Remove and transfer to paper towels.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon: Not all bacon is created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a thick-cut bacon that is at least 1/2 inch thick. This will help the bacon hold up to the heat of the oven and prevent it from becoming too crispy.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup: The maple syrup is what gives this bacon its sweet and sticky flavor. Be sure to use a good quality maple syrup that is pure and has a strong flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When baking the bacon, be sure to not overcrowd the baking sheet. This will help the bacon cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The best way to check for doneness is to use a meat thermometer. Cook the bacon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.

Conclusion:

This sweet and spicy bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or gatherings, and it's also a great way to use up leftover bacon. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a tasty and satisfying treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give this sweet and spicy bacon a try. You won't be disappointed!
