Sweet and spicy crispy bacon

Ingredients:

• 350 g thick slices of bacon
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2.5 tsp gochukaru (Korean red pepper flakes)

Preparation:

1. On a plate, combine 0.5 cups of brown sugar with 2.5 teaspoons of gochukaru and spread into an even layer. Roll 350 g of thick slices of bacon in the sugar mixture, pressing each slice on both sides to ensure the mixture adheres.
2. Place the bacon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 325°F (160°C), rotating the pan and turning the bacon slices halfway through, until the bacon is caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes.
3. Sprinkle both sides with toasted sesame seeds, then let cool completely to allow the glaze to set.
