Categories     side-dish

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.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb lean bacon (applewood-smoked bacon, hickey smoked)

  • Remove the bacon from the pan when it is crisp and browned to your liking.
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  • Season the bacon with peppered brown sugar while it is still hot.
