A delightful twist on classic bacon, combining sweet and spicy flavors for a perfect treat.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup a breeze and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for a consistent flavor.
Coat each bacon slice with the sugar mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Press the mixture firmly onto the bacon to ensure it sticks during baking.
Arrange the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Leave space between slices for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.
Keep an eye on the bacon towards the end to prevent burning.
Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a serving plate.
Let the bacon cool slightly before serving to allow the glaze to set.
