Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 0.5 cup Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a metal cooling rack on top. This will allow the bacon to cook evenly and the fat to drain away.
In a small bowl, combine the erythritol, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Lay the slices of bacon out flat on the prepared rack, making sure they do not overlap.
Sprinkle the erythritol mixture evenly over each slice of bacon, ensuring both sides are coated by turning the bacon and sprinkling the other side as well.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the erythritol has caramelized.
Carefully remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the rack for a few minutes. The bacon will continue to crisp up as it cools.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious keto snack or as a tasty addition to salads or breakfast dishes.
