A delightful twist on candied bacon, adding a hint of spice for a balanced flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispy bacon.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Dredge each bacon slice in the sugar mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Press the sugar mixture onto the bacon for better adhesion.
Arrange the coated bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Ensure the slices do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.
Check the bacon frequently towards the end to prevent burning.
Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Let the bacon cool slightly to allow the glaze to set.
Serve the glazed bacon warm and enjoy its sweet and spicy flavor.
