Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Wire rack
- 1 sheet of aluminum foil
- ½ Measuring cup
- 1 teaspoon
- 1 small spoon
- 1 small plate
- 1 sheet of parchment paper
- 1 Airtight container
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 3 teaspoon diced jalapeno peppers More or less if you would like.
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Line an air fryer baking sheet with foil. I like how this helps make for an easier clean up.
- Finely dice the jalapeno pepper.
- Pour the brown sugar onto a small plate and coat each side of each slice of bacon with it.
- Place the strips of bacon in a single layer on an air fryer wire rack.
- I do not preheat the air fryer. Cook the bacon at 350 degrees for ten minutes.
- Carefully remove the wire basket and with a small spoon, drizzle a little honey on the tops of the bacon. Then sprinkle the pieces of hot peppers on them.
- Cook for another three minutes and remove from air fryer.
Notes
This bacon tastes sweet and has a little bit of spice to it. It is candied and absolutely wonderful.
I want to note that it may look a little burnt even if it is not overcooked.
For leftovers, store in an airtight container and refrigerate up to a couple of days. To layer the bacon, place a piece of parchment paper in-between the layers.
