Ingredients

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 lb. slab bacon, thick-cut
• 1/2 cup maple syrup

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375.

2. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cayenne.

3. Line a half-sheet pan with foil and set a cooling rack in the pan. Lay the sliced bacon on the cooling rack. Using your fingers, rub a thick layer of the brown sugar-cayenne mixture into the tops of the bacon slices. Bake for 10 minutes.

4. Remove from oven and brush each slice with maple syrup. Wearing disposable gloves, turn the bacon over, sprinkle the remaining brown sugar-cayenne over the second side, and bake for another 10 to 20 minutes or until crispy. Remove and brush with the remaining maple syrup. Cool and serve with burgers of your choice.
