Agave syrup is a lower-calorie sweetener.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a bowl, mix together 6 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the mixture and stir until it reaches a moist, pasty consistency.

Using your hands, spread the mixture evenly on top of the bacon strips placed on a baking sheet.

Ensure the mixture is spread across all pieces, but you don't need to cover both sides as it will melt and incorporate underneath during cooking.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness.

After about 25 minutes, check the bacon for doneness; it should be crispy.

Carefully remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it using tongs to a cooling rack, being cautious of the hot sugar.
