1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375u00b0 F.

   Arrange the bacon strips onto the roasting rack.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, maple syrup, a pinch of black pepper, and a dash of cayenne to form a thick syrupy paste.

   Roast the bacon for 22-30 minutes, until it is deep brown and the sugar is caramelized. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon. Keep a close eye on it after the 22 minute mark, to ensure it does not burn.
