Ingredients
- 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 0.5 cup Monk fruit sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
Step 3
Place a wire rack on top of the lined baking sheet. This will help the bacon cook evenly and crisp up nicely.
Step 4
Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the monk fruit sweetener, ground black pepper, cinnamon, and paprika together until well combined.
Step 6
Sprinkle the monk fruit mixture evenly over each slice of bacon, making sure to coat each piece thoroughly.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on the bacon to ensure it does not burn. The bacon should be crispy and glazed.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the bacon to cool on the rack for a few minutes. As it cools, the bacon will become crispier.
Step 9
Carefully transfer the candied bacon to a serving platter and serve warm or at room temperature.
