Candied Bacon
Quick & easy recipe to level up your bacon! Great for holidays or charcuterie platters, brunches or breakfast for dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Bacon premium or thick cut preferred
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar lightly packed
- 1/2 t Cinnamon ground
- 1/2 t Chili Powder
- 1/4 t Chipotle or Cayenne Powder chipotle = mild; cayenne = medium/hot
- 1/4 t White Pepper ground, 1/8 t = mild
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with tin foil & place a cooling rack on top of the foil.
- In a small dish, combine the brown sugar & spices together. Coat the bacon with the brown sugar mix on both sides. Gently shake off any excess sugar. Lay the bacon flat on the cooling rack & repeat with all strips.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until bacon is cooked through & starting to crisp on the edges. Your bacon may take more or less time to cook based on the thickness & your preferred doneness.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Do not put bacon on a paper towel lined plate to cool! It will be very sticky. Use parchment paper, a silicone mat, or leave right on the cooling rack.
