Cardamom Candied Bacon
I think we can all agree that bacon makes everything better. (except maybe those brownies I posted a couple weeks ago). But how do you make bacon better? You candy it. With cardamom. Yep, candied bacon is amazing. And cardamom is one of my favorite spices. I love the citrusy, spicy flavor.
Hubby and I enjoyed this bacon next to eggs for breakfast. I also used this bacon in the Candied Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies that I made recently. And be sure to check back tomorrow for a savory recipe to use this bacon.

Cardamom Candied Bacon
We can all agree that bacon makes everything better. But how do you make bacon better? You candy it. With cardamom.
Yield: 10 slices bacon
Ingredients:
10 slices thick-cut bacon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then lay a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
On a large plate, mix sugar and cardamom. Dredge bacon slices through the mix, lightly patting the sugar on top but not overdoing it.
Lay strips on wire rack and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the bacon once halfway through.
Remove and drain on paper towels for 1 minute.

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Cabbage is everywhere for St. Patrick’s Day! I love boiled cabbage, though for years I avoided it. This looks like a way to really infuse some crazy flavor into it!
I love cabbage recipes. And anything with bacon is always a plus! Will be trying this soon.

Bacon is always delicious.
Made this for dinner tonight – it was wonderful! Thanks for the great recipe!!
p.s. I am in Cincy too – happy to see you are back and settling in! Also, have you ever been to BonBonerie in Madisonville? I have been trying to “re-create” their opera cream cake for years – let me know if you ever do! 🙂

So glad you liked it!
I haven’t been to BonBonerie yet. I will definitely have to check them out. I’ve also never made opera cream cake either…
