Candied Bacon

by Brava Chef Erin

About this Recipe

This bacon will be one of the most addictive foods you ever make. It is the perfect combination of salty and sweet, with a hint of heat from the black pepper. Make sure you transfer the bacon from the tray to a wire rack immediately after the cook is completed to ensure it does not stick to the foil. Using thick-cut bacon is highly recommended for this recipe, as thin bacon can easily burn.

Ingredients

  • 5.0 thick-cut bacon
  • 3.0 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • freshly ground black pepper

Equipment

Mixing bowl
