Notes

To prevent the brown sugar glaze from burning and sticking, line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. A light spray of non-stick cooking spray on the paper can also assist. Ensure bacon strips are cut uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispness. Wrapping snugly prevents unraveling. For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of cayenne pepper to the brown sugar before sprinkling, offering a subtle smoky depth or a gentle kick. Monitor closely during the last few minutes of baking, as brown sugar can caramelize quickly and turn bitter if overcooked. The glaze should be bubbly and deeply golden, not dark brown or black.
