INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Preparing the Bacon
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.Arrange the bacon strips in a single layer on the lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the bacon is cooked but still pliable. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Creating the Bacon Crack Coating
- In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cayenne pepper until well combined.
- Spread this sugar mixture evenly on a plate or shallow dish.
Step 3: Coating the Bacon
- Take each cooked bacon strip and press both sides into the brown sugar and cayenne mixture, ensuring a generous coating.
- Place the coated bacon strips back on the lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Adding Crunch (Optional)
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the coated bacon strips for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
Step 5: Final Baking
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake the coated bacon for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the sugar caramelizes and forms a crispy coating on the bacon.
- Keep a close eye to prevent burning, especially during the last few minutes of baking.
Step 6: Cooling and Serving
- Remove the Bacon Crack Bites from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to allow the caramelized sugar to set.
- Transfer the crispy, sweet, and spicy Bacon Crack Bites to a serving platter. They are ready to be enjoyed as a delicious snack or appetizer!
