Category Pork
Prep Time
5 minutes
Cook Time
25 minutes
Total Time
30 minutes

Ingredients

  1. Ingredient Quantity
  2. Bacon 1 pound thick-cut
  3. Honey 1/2 cup
  4. Brown Sugar 2-3 tablespoons
  5. Black Pepper 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
  6. Cayenne Pepper (optional) 1/4 teaspoon (for a spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Bacon (Optional): If you prefer a chewier bacon, partially cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until just starting to crisp. Drain on paper towels. This step is optional, you can bake the bacon from raw as well.
  3. Make the Coating: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, and black pepper (and cayenne pepper if using).
  4. Coat the Bacon: There are two methods for coating the bacon:
  5. Dipping: Dip each slice of bacon into the honey mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  6. Brushing: Place the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with the honey mixture, coating both sides.
  7. Bake: Bake the bacon for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and caramelized. If you prefer crispier bacon, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the bacon cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The bacon will crisp up further as it cools.
  9. Enjoy! Candied bacon is delicious served on its own, crumbled over salads, or incorporated into appetizers and desserts.

Notes

  • Cooking Time: Cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of your bacon and desired level of crispness. Keep an eye on the bacon during the last few minutes of baking to avoid burning.
  • Honey Choice: Any type of honey you like can be used.
  • Brown Sugar: Light brown sugar or dark brown sugar can be used depending on your preference for a milder or more intense molasses flavor.
  • Spice it Up: Feel free to experiment with different spices like smoked paprika, chili powder, or garlic powder.
  • Storage: Store leftover candied bacon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
