Ingredients

• 12 slices thick-cut bacon
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top of the foil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, chopped pecans, cayenne pepper, and ground cinnamon. Mix until the ingredients form a sticky, crumbly mixture.

Step 4

Using a spoon or your hands, spread the pecan praline mixture evenly onto each slice of bacon. Press gently to ensure the mixture 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 it toward the end of the cooking time to prevent burning.

Step 6

Remove the bacon from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes on the wire rack. The praline topping will harden slightly as it cools.

Step 7

Transfer the Pecan Praline Bacon to a serving platter and serve warm. Enjoy!
