lightly packed
▢
½
cup
chopped or whole pecans
▢
¼
teaspoon
ground cayenne pepper

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a jelly roll pan with foil and place a baking rack on top. Set aside.
Add brown sugar and pecans to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until pecans are finely chopped. Add cayenne pepper and pulse again.
Cut bacon in half cross-wise and place on top of rack. Be certain that the slices do not touch each other. Bake for 5 minutes and remove from oven.
Use a spoon to sprinkle the pecan-brown sugar mixture among the slices of bacon.
Drizzle the top with maple syrup.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tops are browned but not burned. Remove from oven and place on a paper towel lined plate.
Serve at room temperature.
Notes
Make sure you bake bacon to your desired degree of doneness. If bacon is undercooked, it will not crisp as it cools.
