Cinnamon Sugar Candied Bacon Jerky

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and black pepper until well combined.

3. 3

   Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the bacon slices.

4. 4

   Flip the bacon slices and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the other side.

5. 5

   Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the bacon is deeply caramelized and crisp, rotating the pan halfway through for even cooking.

6. 6

   Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the rack for 10-15 minutes. The bacon will continue to crisp as it cools.

7. 7

   Once completely cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
