Twist each slice of bacon as tightly as possible and arrange them next to each other on the prepared tray.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cayenne pepper evenly on top of the twisted bacon.
Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the bacon and bake for another 10-20 minutes or until crispy.

You can drain off excess grease by transferring the cooked bacon to a wire rack placed over a baking tray or a paper towel-lined plate.
Feel free to play with the amounts of brown sugar and cayenne pepper to suit your tastes! This recipe yields bacon with a good balance of sweet and spicy flavors.
If you can’t find parchment paper that can withstand this temperature, you can use foil or a silpat baking mat to line your baking tray instead. You could also leave the tray unlined, but the caramelized sugar will likely be hard to scrub off.
