Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place wire rack atop baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together allulose, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and pepper.
- Arrange bacon slices in even layer atop wire rack. Spoon allulose mixture atop bacon, using back of spoon to spread into an even layer.
