Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder (optional)
- 12 Wooden skewers
- 1 brief spritz Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent them from burning in the oven.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chili powder (if using) until well combined.
Thread one slice of bacon onto each skewer, weaving the bacon in a ribbon-like pattern along the skewer. Place the skewers on the prepared wire rack.
Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over both sides of the bacon skewers, gently pressing the mixture onto the bacon to help it adhere.
Bake the skewers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the sugar has caramelized. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes of baking to avoid burning.
Carefully remove the skewers from the oven and let them cool on the wire rack for 5 minutes so the caramelized sugar can harden slightly.
Serve warm and enjoy these sweet and savory treats!
