Three words: Candied Ginger Bacon.
One word: Incredible
Eleven words: Oh my goodness you must make this if you love bacon.
And we’re off!
First we line a baking sheet with foil. We add a cooling rack on top. Then we lay out our bacon.
To make our rub, we use a mini food processor.
Instant rub! I added a little bit of water to thin it out.
We spread a nice layer on the bacon. COATED WELL!
Baked!
Hey good lookin’!
One more for good measure.
I like it when my bacon is crispy and it’s a big bonus when it’s infused with ginger and candy coated!
Candied Ginger Bacon
serves 3- 4
- 10 slices thick cut bacon
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup crystalized ginger
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400F.
Cover a large baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top. Lay bacon strips on the rack, making sure not to overlap. Place remaining 4 ingredients in a mini food processor and process until the candied ginger has broken into smaller bits. Add about 1- 2 teaspoons of water to loosen up mixture and continue processing. Spread the ginger mixture evenly on each piece of bacon. Place bacon in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is nicely browned and caramelized. Remove from the oven and serve.
