Maple Glazed Candied Bacon
Ingredients
1 lb thick-cut bacon

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat the oven: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Coat the bacon: Lay bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack. Brush the maple glaze generously over each slice.
