Ingredients
Method
- Line a half sheet pan with foil and parchment paper, then arrange bacon slices without overlapping.
- Sprinkle bacon tops with 1/2 cup brown sugar and red chili pepper flakes.
- Place the baking sheet into a COLD oven, then preheat to 375 degrees F. Once the oven reaches 375 degrees F, rotate the baking sheet 180 degrees and continue baking for 8-10 additional minutes until caramelized.
- Remove the bacon from the oven and let it sit on the sheet pan for 5 minutes. Use tongs to lift each slice, letting fat drip, then transfer to a serving platter. Let the bacon sit for 5-10 more minutes then serve.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the bacon slices are not overlapping on the parchment paper. Give them a little space.
- Don’t skip starting the bacon in a cold oven. This allows the fat to render slowly, resulting in crispier bacon and a more evenly caramelized sugar coating.
- If your bacon isn't as crispy as you'd like, you can return it to the oven for another 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Leftover billionaire bacon can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week. Reheat gently in a warm oven for a few minutes to restore crispness. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
