Perfect Candied Bacon on the Arteflame Grill

Introduction

As a top chef, I enjoy teaching people how to create the best, most flavorful dishes that look and taste amazing. The Arteflame grill is my preferred choice because it sears meat at over 1,000°F for a steakhouse-quality sear and allows you to cook all your other food on its flat top griddle. This recipe for candied bacon showcases the versatility of the Arteflame grill, providing a perfectly even sear without any grill marks and ensuring your food never burns.

Ingredients

• 1 pound thick-cut bacon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Grill: Fire up your Arteflame grill to medium-high heat to get it ready for grilling.
2. Prepare the Bacon: In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, maple syrup, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Lay the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the bacon with the brown sugar mixture, ensuring each strip is well-coated.
3. Grill the Bacon: Place the bacon strips on the flat top griddle of the Arteflame grill. Use the different heat zones to ensure even cooking. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is caramelized and crispy.
4. Cool and Serve: Remove the candied bacon from the grill and let it cool on a wire rack. Serve as a sweet and savory treat.

Tips
