Soyracha Maple Bacon Food

BROWN SUGAR-SRIRACHA BACON BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir together the sriracha and brown sugar in a medium bowl; add the bacon pieces and toss to coat. Set aside.
• Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; place a wire rack over the foil. Spray the rack liberally with cooking spray. Place the bacon pieces in a single layer on the rack.
• Bake until the bacon is almost crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle the bacon with the toasted and black sesame seeds and bake an additional 5 minutes. Cool for 5 to 8 minutes, moving the bacon pieces slightly on the rack every 2 minutes to prevent sticking. (The bacon will crisp more as it cools.)

SOYRACHA MAPLE BACON

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a couple of rimmed baking sheets with parchment or foil. Lay bacon out on the baking sheets making sure the pieces don't overlap.
• Mix together the maple syrup and Soyracha in a small bowl and brush the bacon slices on both sides with it. There should still be a bunch of the sauce left -- use this to brush occasionally as the bacon is cooking.
• Stick the pans of bacon in the oven and bake until browned and crispy (about 18 to 25 minutes-depending on the thickness of your bacon),.
• During the baking of the bacon, take the pans out once about halfway through and once towards the very end when they're looking almost done and brush with more sauce.
• Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate or platter and serve.
