- 1 ½ Tbs packed light brown sugar
- Rounded ¼ tsp cayenne
- Rounded ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb thick-cut bacon (about 12 slices)
Position an oven rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cayenne, and black pepper.
Arrange the bacon slices in 1 layer—not overlapping—on the rack of a large broiler pan. or baking sheet. Bake the bacon for 20 minutes. Turn the slices over, and sprinkle them evenly with the spiced sugar. Continue baking until the bacon is crisp and deep golden, about 20-35 minutes more, checking every 5 minutes.
