Ingredients

• 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 0.5 cup Erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a metal cooling rack on top. This will allow the bacon to cook evenly and the fat to drain away.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the erythritol, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Lay the slices of bacon out flat on the prepared rack, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 5

Sprinkle the erythritol mixture evenly over each slice of bacon, ensuring both sides are coated by turning the bacon and sprinkling the other side as well.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the erythritol has caramelized.

Step 7

Carefully remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the rack for a few minutes. The bacon will continue to crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious keto snack or as a tasty addition to salads or breakfast dishes.
