Maple-Pepper Bacon

Ingredients:
8 slices thick-cut Bacon
3 tbsp. Packed light Brown Sugar
1 tbsp. Pure Maple Syrup
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
1 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground mixed Peppercorns 

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 375F. Arrange bacon on a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the fat starts rendering, about 10 min. Remove from the oven and blot the bacon with paper towels on both sides.
2) Combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, and cayenne in a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave, stirring, until smooth, 30 sec. to 1 min. Brush the bacon with half of the syrup mixture and sprinkle with half of the ground peppercorn. Bake until bacon browns around the edges, about 15 min. Flip and blot the other side with brown paper towels, then brush with remaining syrup mixture (reheat in microwave if necessary); sprinkle with remaining peppercorn. Continue baking until the bacon browns and the sugar melts, 15-20 more minutes. Let cool slightly.
