Ingredients for Candied Bacon:
Method of preparing the Candied Bacon:
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and fit it with a wire rack.
-
Arrange the bacon on the wire racks without overlapping. The strips should be perpendicular to the lines on the wire rack so that the bacon doesn't fall through.
-
Sprinkle the bacon evenly with brown sugar and black pepper (optional). You'll need about 1 teaspoon of brown sugar for one bacon strip.
-
Bake the bacon for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway to make sure that they cook evenly. The bacon is ready when the sugar has melted and the bacon is nice and brown.
-
Cool the candied bacon on the same wire racks for at least 5-10 minutes. You can keep candied bacon in the fridge for a couple of days only.
