• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bacon slices, pressing lightly to help it adhere.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has melted into a caramelized coating.

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the bacon to cool for 5 minutes on the rack before serving.
