Maple Candied Bacon

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   Wrap a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a wire rack.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, add the maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Kosher salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.

4. 4

   Add the bacon to the bowl and toss gently with your hands. Make sure that all of the slices are evenly coated.

5. 5

   Place the bacon in a single layer onto the wire rack.

6. 6

   Bake in the center of the oven for about 20 minutes. The bacon will be a bit brown, but will most likely need to bake for another 10-15 minutes. It should look slightly dark (not burnt) and crispy. If you take it out too soon, the texture will be chewy. Be patient!

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the rack. Don't let them sit too long or else they will stick.

8. 8

   Once cool enough to handle, you can break the bacon into chards (you'll have about 32 pieces). Alternatively, you can leave them whole.

9. 9

   Serve at room temperature.
