Ingredients

1/2 Cup packed brown sugar
1/4 Cup Maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp Salt-free Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 Pound Bacon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil then place a cooling rack on top, spray it with non-stick spray, and set aside.
Stir the brown sugar, maple syrup, Cajun seasoning, and pepper in a medium bowl, stirring in a teaspoon of water at a time until it’s just thin enough to spread but not watery.
Lay the bacon on the cooling rack, not overlapping then spread 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar mixture evenly on top of each of the pieces.
Bake for 15 minutes then turn the pan around and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until crispy and brown.
Let it cool completely on the rack then remove and serve.
