Ingredients
- •Bacon
- •Brown sugar(120g)
- •2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper* ($0.15)
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place a wire rack on top to hold the bacon above the surface of the baking sheet. Spray the wire rack with just a little bit of cooking spray.
- 2Lay the strips of bacon across the wire rack so they are close, but not overlapping.
- 3Divide and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly on top of each strip of bacon. Then add the freshly cracked black pepper on top of the bacon strips.
- 4Bake the bacon in the preheated oven, for 25-30 minutes, or until it has reached your desired level of crispiness. I let mine bake for 30 minutes.
- 5After baking let the bacon rest for at least 5 minutes so the melted sugar can harden a bit. Then carefully use tongs to remove the strips of bacon from the wire rack to a separate plate. Serve along with your favorite breakfast sides and enjoy!
