Calories: 146
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 slices of thick cut bacon cut in half (I get my bacon from ButcherBox, which I highly recommend)
Equipment Needed:
- Food processor with S blade attachment
- Rimmed baking sheet with a wire baking rack
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil (for easy cleanup), and set in the wire baking rack.
- In the food processor, combine the coconut sugar, pecans, maple syrup, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Pulse until it is finely chopped.
- Lay the bacon out on the wire baking rack, spacing out the bacon so it isn't touching. Spoon on the sugar pecan mixture in an even layer on top of the bacon.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until the topping is very brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the wire rack. Transfer to a plate and serve at room temperature.
