Brown Sugar Candied Pastured Bacon

Pastured bacon baked with brown sugar into crisp, sweet-savory candied strips.

Ingredients

1
Preheat oven to 375F and line a sheet pan with foil; set a wire rack on top.
2
Mix the brown sugar, pepper, and cayenne and press onto both sides of the bacon.
3
Lay the strips on the rack and bake 20-25 minutes, until deep amber and crisp.
4
Cool a few minutes to set — it crisps as it cools.

Farm tip: A wire rack lets the fat drip away so the bacon candies instead of frying.

Serving suggestion: Serve at brunch, crumble over salads, or alongside pancakes.
