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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Lay the bacon slices flat in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and ground cinnamon to form a thick glaze.
Step 4
Using a pastry brush or spoon, evenly spread the glaze mixture onto one side of each bacon slice.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet with the bacon in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the bacon slices over. Apply another layer of glaze to the newly exposed side.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the wire rack for 5 minutes. The glaze will thicken as it cools.
Step 9
Transfer the glazed bacon to a serving plate and enjoy warm!
