Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 1-pound piece slab bacon (not pre-sliced)
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Cut bacon lengthwise into nine 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack into the baking sheet. Coat the cooling rack with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the sugar, cayenne, paprika, 2 teaspoons pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a pie dish. Pour 1/2 cup of the maple syrup into a small bowl.
  • Brush both sides of each slice of bacon with maple syrup. Press the bacon, one slice at a time, into the brown sugar mixture to coat. Arrange on the greased wire rack. Sprinkle the bacon with the leftover brown sugar mixture.
  • Bake, rotating halfway through, until the bacon is cooked and the sugar is dark and caramelized, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the bacon to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool completely. (Bacon can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.)
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the red pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup in a small bowl. Drizzle the bacon with the red pepper-maple syrup or serve on the side for dipping.

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound thick-cut bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Position racks in the top and bottom of the oven. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil and set cooling racks into the baking sheets.
  • Using your fingers, crumble together the brown sugar, smoked paprika and several grinds of black pepper on a plate. Dredge the bacon on both sides in the brown sugar mixture, rubbing so the sugar adheres. Arrange the slices on the racks without touching.
  • Bake until the bacon is crisp and caramelized, flipping the slices and rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, about 20 minutes total. Let the slices cool on the racks, turning once or twice so they don't stick.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon: Use a thick-cut bacon for best results. Thick-cut bacon will hold up better to the cooking process and will be less likely to burn.
  • Preheat the oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before cooking the bacon. This will help the bacon cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Line the baking sheet: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. This will also help prevent the bacon from sticking to the pan.
  • Place the bacon in a single layer: Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Make sure the bacon is placed in a single layer so that it cooks evenly.
  • Flip the bacon halfway through cooking: Flip the bacon halfway through cooking to ensure that it cooks evenly on both sides.
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels: Once the bacon is cooked, drain it on paper towels to remove any excess grease.

Conclusion:

Brown sugar bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this tasty bacon at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet and savory snack, give brown sugar bacon a try!
