Candied Bacon
This is the point when your inner nutritionist starts telling you that you’re heading off the rails. Suppress that voice. SUPPRESS IT I SAY!!!
Ingredients
| - 500 g streaky bacon (approx) | - ¼ cup of brown sugar |
| - 70 ml maple syrup |
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Line a low walled baking dish with tin foil (do not scrimp on this point as the clean-up is not pretty).
Place a wire rack into the dish and lay the strips of bacon out on it.
Brush the bacon down with about half of the maple syrup. Then sprinkle about half the brown sugar on top of the bacon.
Place in the oven for approximately 12 minutes until it looks lightly browned.
Remove and turn each bacon strip over. Brush each with the remainder of the maple syrup and sprinkle what’s left of the brown sugar on top.
Place back in the over for another 8 minutes or so. Make sure to keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove and let cool for at least 30 minutes which will let the bacon harden into sweet, salty, baconey goodness. Store in the fridge until ready to eat.
