Candied bacon

Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil, top with a wire rack lightly coated in nonstick spray, and lay the thick cut bacon on it without overlapping.

Brush with maple syrup and sprinkle heartily with light brown sugar.

Bake at 350F about 10 minutes, then flip each slice.

Brush again with maple syrup and sprinkle again with brown sugar.

Return to the oven another 10 minutes, flipping every five minutes, until reddish mahogany and flexible.

Cool completely, at least 30 minutes, so the bacon stiffens.
