Sugar And Spice Bacon Recipes

SPICY BROWN SUGAR BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Cut bacon lengthwise into nine 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack into the baking sheet. Coat the cooling rack with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the sugar, cayenne, paprika, 2 teaspoons pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a pie dish. Pour 1/2 cup of the maple syrup into a small bowl.
• Brush both sides of each slice of bacon with maple syrup. Press the bacon, one slice at a time, into the brown sugar mixture to coat. Arrange on the greased wire rack. Sprinkle the bacon with the leftover brown sugar mixture.
• Bake, rotating halfway through, until the bacon is cooked and the sugar is dark and caramelized, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Transfer the bacon to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool completely. (Bacon can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.)
• Meanwhile, whisk together the red pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup in a small bowl. Drizzle the bacon with the red pepper-maple syrup or serve on the side for dipping.

SPICED BACON

Steps:

• Arrange 6 slices thick-cut bacon on a rack set on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F until they just start to crisp, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Microwave 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 teaspoon water until dissolved, about 45 seconds. Flip the bacon and brush the tops with the sugar mixture.
• Sprinkle with seasonings (such as chili powder, pie spice or Cajun seasoning). Continue baking until browned, 12 to 16 more minutes. Drain on paper towels.

SPICED SWEET POTATO AND BACON SKEWERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place oven-safe cooking racks on top of a large rimmed baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place cut sweet potatoes in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine. Set aside.
• Without separating bacon slices into individual pieces, cut entire slab of bacon slices into fourths (when laying horizontally in front of you). This is easiest by cutting slab in half and then cutting each of those portions in half again.
• In a small bowl, combine sugars and spices. Pour spiced sugar mixture onto a large, rimmed baking sheet.
• With metal skewer, slide on a chunk of sweet potato, then 1 small piece of bacon (which is 1/4th of a bacon slice) that has been folded in half (or smaller if necessary). Make sure to leave a tiny bit of room between each bacon slice and potato chuck to allow even cooking (don't push them tightly together). Repeat pattern until you have about 7 pieces of sweet potato and 6 pieces of bacon on each skewer.
• Roll each skewer in the spiced sugar mixture. You may want to use your hand to hold some of the spiced sugar to press more of it onto the potatoes and bacon. Tap your skewer gently to remove any excess spiced sugar. Place skewer on top of the the cooling racks on your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining skewers. Discard any remaining spiced sugar.
• Bake skewers for about 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and bacon is fully cooked.

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until bacon has cooked to desired doneness.

• Arrange bacon slices in l layer on a large broiler pan and bake in middle of oven (or upper third of oven if baking with eggs) 20 minutes. Turn slices over and sprinkle evenly with spiced sugar.

BROWN SUGARED TURKEY BACON

SUGAR AND SPICE BACON (OR TURKEY BACON)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*.
• Place bacon slices on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
• Mix together remaining ingredients. If you are using regular bacon, you may want to add garlic powder instead of garlic salt. I always use the lower sodium bacon and Turkey bacon, so I feel like I can add the garlic salt :).
• Remove from oven, flip bacon and sprinkle this side generously with sugar mixture. Return to oven for 5-7 minutes, until bacon is looking fairly crisp, but not completely done.
• Remove from oven and flip bacon again. Sprinkle this side with sugar mixture and return to oven until bacon reaches your desired doneness. (I usually allow about 5 more minutes.
• Remove bacon to paper towel lined plate to use in other recipes or start digging in, being careful not to burn your little fingers on the melty sugar!
