Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound thick-cut bacon Or regular bacon, depending on preference.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Adjust to taste; avoid using too much to prevent burning.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  3. If you have a rack, place it on the baking sheet. If not, ensure you flip the bacon halfway through.
  4. Arrange the bacon strips on the rack or baking sheet without overlapping.
  5. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bacon.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 30 minutes, monitoring closely after 18 minutes.
  2. Look for bubbling sugar and deep reddish-brown bacon.
  3. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, let the candied bacon cool on a rack or parchment paper to allow the coating to set.
