Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz package of bacon (thin sliced)
  • 3 tbsp chili powder
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange bacon slices in an even layer. It’s ok for the bacon strips to touch, just don’t let them overlap too much. bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment
  3. Combine chili powder and brown sugar in a small bowl until evenly mixed. Sprinkle over one side of bacon, then flip each piece and sprinkle the spice mixture over the other side. 
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes. It’s a little harder to tell if the bacon is getting over done because the chili powder makes the bacon look very dark. Listen to your gut and when it starts smelling completely amazing, it probably only has a minute or two more to go. 
  5. Remove the baking tray from the oven and line a different baking sheet with paper towels. Use tongs to remove each piece of bacon and arrange on paper towels to dry up the grease and allow bacon to crisp up. chipotle bacon on a paper towel lined baking sheet
