Here’s a recipe for delicious Cinnamon Toast Oven Baked Bacon:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450 g) thick-cut bacon
- 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
- Prepare Bacon: Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack. Ensure the slices are not overlapping for even cooking.
- Mix Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well until the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the sugar.
- Apply Topping: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the bacon slices. Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture lightly into the bacon to ensure it sticks.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on the bacon to ensure the sugar doesn’t burn.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the wire rack for a few minutes. The bacon will continue to crisp up as it cools. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- Watch Carefully: Sugar can burn easily, so start checking the bacon at the 15-minute mark to prevent overcooking.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet bacon, reduce the amount of brown sugar.
- Spice Variations: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture for a different flavor profile.
This cinnamon toast oven-baked bacon pairs wonderfully with a variety of breakfast dishes or can be enjoyed on its own as a sweet and savory treat. Enjoy!
