Ingredients
½
cup
packed light brown sugar
1 ½
teaspoons
chile powder
3
tablespoons
maple syrup
1 1/2
pounds
thick cut bacon (20 slices)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. F.
Line large baking sheet with foil.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chile powder, and maple sugar to form a paste.
Arrange the bacon strips in a single layer on the foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan and carefully pour off any excess grease.
Spoon about a teaspoon of mixture over each strip of bacon.
Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes. I recommend flipping the bacon and sprinkling with additional mixture every 10 minutes.
The bacon is done when the brown sugar is melted and the bacon is a deep brown color.
Transfer the bacon to a clean parchment paper to cool. The bacon will crisp as it cools.
