Ingredients

• 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and place a wire rack on top of the foil.

Step 2

Lay the bacon slices on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground black pepper, and cinnamon (if using).

Step 4

Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over each slice of bacon, making sure to coat both sides. Press down gently so the sugar adheres to the bacon.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on the bacon during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 6

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bacon cool slightly on the rack. The sugar coating will harden as it cools, creating a crispy texture.

Step 7

Serve the crispy brown sugar bacon warm, and enjoy!
