Ingredients
9 servings
- •9 Bacon(252g)
- •0.5 cup Brown sugar
- •2 tsp 2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper* ($0.15)
Instructions
- 1Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top, then spray the rack lightly with cooking spray.
- 2Lay the bacon strips across the wire rack in a single layer, spacing them close together but not overlapping.
- 3Divide the brown sugar evenly and sprinkle it over each bacon strip, coating the top surface, then sprinkle the freshly cracked black pepper over the sugar.
- 4Bake at 375°F for 25–30 minutes, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy and the sugar has caramelized into a dark amber glaze.
- 5Remove from the oven and let rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes so the candied sugar hardens slightly.
- 6Using tongs, transfer the bacon strips to a clean plate to cool completely for 10 minutes.
- 7Divide the candied bacon evenly into 9 airtight containers while still slightly warm, packing approximately 1 strip per container for individual meal portions.
- 8Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, and reheat gently in a 300°F oven for 3–5 minutes until warmed through before serving.
