How to Make Pecan Crusted Bacon
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the wire rack with cooking spray.
- Arrange bacon slices on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Firmly press the pecan mixture onto both sides of each bacon slice.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and pecans are toasted. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Let the bacon stand for 5 minutes on the wire rack before serving. This allows the bacon to crisp up further and makes it easier to handle.
