Equipment

  • Large Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Stainless Steel Baking Rack sprayed with non-stick spray
  • Tongs
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Fork

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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 vertically across the pan (all 8 slices should fit).
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cayenne.
  • Evenly sprinkle the top of the bacon with the spicy brown sugar until the whole slice is covered.
  • 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.
