Why You'll Love This Recipe

This dish offers a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors that enhance the savory richness of bacon. It’s a simple way to elevate a classic ingredient into something special and memorable.

Directions

Warm your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a resealable plastic bag, toss together the flour, sugar, and pepper until they’re well combined. Add a few strips of bacon at a time to the bag, seal it, and give it a good shake so the bacon gets coated evenly. Lay the coated bacon out on a baking sheet or broiler pan in a single layer. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until it’s as crispy as you like. Keep an eye on it toward the end so it doesn’t burn. Once done, let it cool for a minute or two before serving.
