Candied Bacon

What's not to love about maple syrup-coated, brown sugar-crusted bacon? It adds a welcome sweet-and-salty note that makes any breakfast special.

• 6 slices thick-cut bacon
• 2 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. pure maple syrup
• 1-1/2 Tbs. light brown sugar

Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F. Arrange the bacon slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle both sides with the maple syrup and then sprinkle both sides evenly with the sugar. Bake until browned and crisp, 20 to 22 minutes.
