How to Make Pecan Crusted Bacon

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the wire rack with cooking spray.
  4. Arrange bacon slices on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not overlapping.
  5. Firmly press the pecan mixture onto both sides of each bacon slice.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and pecans are toasted. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. 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.
