How to Make Oven Cooked Bacon With Black Pepper And Brown Sugar

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overlapping.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the brown sugar and pepper mixture evenly over the bacon slices.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked to your desired crispness. Keep a close eye on it during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let the bacon rest on the baking sheet for a minute or two before serving. This allows the bacon to crisp up further.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
