Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place wire racks on rimmed baking sheets. Set aside.
- Mix together the dark brown sugar, salt and other add-ins like chili powder and cayenne in a medium bowl.
- Arrange the bacon strips in a single layer on the wire racks. Evenly spoon the brown sugar mixture over bacon strips. You might need to do this in batches, depending on your oven.
- Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on the bacon, sugar can burn easily. The goal is for bacon strips to be almost crispy, but still a little chewy. The natural fats will be sizzling and bubbling around them.
- Remove the bacon strips and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. Transfer the bacon strips from the wire racks to parchment paper until they come to room temperature.
- When fully cooled, serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
