1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange bacon in a single layer on a lightly greased wire rack set inside a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet.
2 Stir brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne, and crushed red pepper together in a small bowl and lightly pat the sugar mixture evenly over the bacon slices.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand until cooled completely, about 15 minutes.
