How to Make Bacon With Brown Sugar And Cardamom

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds.
  2. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cardamom.
  4. Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure bacon isn't overlapping.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar and cardamom mixture over the bacon.
  6. Place one baking sheet on the upper rack and the other on the lower rack.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, then switch the positions of the baking sheets (top to bottom, front to back).
  8. Continue baking until the bacon is dark brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes more. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  9. Carefully remove bacon from baking sheets using tongs and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess grease.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet and savory perfection!
