BACON! Who can turn down a delightful, salty strip of smokey bacon? What’s better? Candied-bacon, or as some might call it, “Pig Candy”. Whatever you call it, it’s stinkin’ yummy. I LOVE to throw this onto salads, AIP donuts, or even eat it by itself.

This bacon combines four flavor profiles in one: smokey, sweet, salty, and umami. There’s a lot going on here but somehow it works together (probably the bacon… let’s be honest) and makes for a fun journey for your tastebuds.

If you’re craving a comforting snack, I suggest heading into the kitchen and making this amazing treat.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup and coconut aminos.
  3. Place bacon on a large baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
  4. Slather bacon with maple mixture using a brush or if you don't have a basting brush, you can dip each bacon strip into the mixture.
  5. Sprinkle coconut sugar evenly onto each side of the bacon.
  6. Bake for 30 min.
  7. Flip the bacon to the other side and bake for an additional 10 min.
  8. Flip the bacon to the other side and bake for an additional 5 min.
  9. Repeat this 5 minute increment about 4 more times or until you see the liquid mixture bubbling rapidly. Be sure to not let the bacon burn. (The sugar will most likely protect it from burning)

    May I ask, are all these recipes on this website suitable for the elimination phase?? I’m finding I’m sticking to the first 4 weeks and every now and then snack on grapes or apple and I made the strawberry granita in the book, but I’m terrified of eating something that will out me back at square one after all this work so far.
    I’d really love some snacks and I know in the book it says only 1-2 snacks (hopefully it means snack recipes) per month.
    Thanks in advance for your reply!
