Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top of the foil-lined baking sheet.
Lay the bacon slices flat in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and ground cinnamon to form a thick glaze.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the glaze mixture onto one side of each bacon slice.
Place the baking sheet with the bacon in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the bacon slices over. Apply another layer of glaze to the newly exposed side.
Return the bacon to the oven and bake for an additional 12–15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized to your liking.
Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the wire rack for 5 minutes. The glaze will thicken as it cools.
Transfer the glazed bacon to a serving plate and enjoy warm!
