I first tried Praline Bacon in New Orleans and instantly became obsessed! It's a little sweet, salty, meaty, with a subtle pecan flavor as well.
Ingredients
6ozcenter-cut bacon*
1/4cuptoasted pecans
1/4cuppacked dark brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and set a wire rack above a sheet pan.
Pulse the pecans until they are chopped up into itty bitty pieces, but don’t pulse them so far that they turn into nut butter. Add the brown sugar and pulse a couple times to combine.
Press each bacon slice into the brown sugar pecan crumb, making sure to get both sides and shaking off the excess. Then place the prepped bacon slices on the wire rack.
Bake for about 30 minutes until the brown sugar has caramelized. Let the bacon cool slightly, about a minute, on the wire rack. Then place on paper towels to drain. Enjoy while warm.
Notes
*I strongly recommend center cut bacon because it’s less fatty than regular bacon.
