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.
Serving Variations
Serve alongside eggs and toast for a flavorful breakfast or crumble over a fresh salad to add a sweet and spicy crunch. It also pairs well with roasted vegetables or baked potatoes.
Storage Tips
Store leftover bacon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to maintain crispness without drying it out.
