INGREDIENTS

8 Slices Good Quality, Thick-Cut Bacon
4 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
¾ tsp. Cayenne, or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400℉.Place a baking rack over a parchment-lined sheet pan and spray the rack generously with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the bacon across the pan (all 8 slices should fit vertically).

Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cayenne. Feel free to adjust the spice to your preferred level of heat.

Step 3: Evenly sprinkle the top of the bacon with the spicy brown sugar until the whole slice is covered.

Step 4: Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Bacon will crisp but will be a little chewier due to the brown sugar. As soon as the bacon comes out of the oven, use a pair of tongs to loosen the bacon from the rack, to ensure it doesn't stick as it cools.
