Ingredients
- 1 lb thick cut bacon
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder
- non-stick spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, and cayenne powder.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet on the bottom of the pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. Place an oven-safe wire rack on top of that and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the rack.
- Using a pastry brush, evenly brush ½ of the maple mixture on the upward-facing side of the bacon. Bake at 375°F in the center of the oven for 15 minutes.
- Take the bacon out of the oven after 15 minutes, flip it, and brush the other side with the remaining maple mixture. Put it back in the oven and bake for another 15-20 until you see crispy edges (or until your desired doneness).
