How to cook deliciously - Classic BLT

1 . Stage

Preheat oven to 400°. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, and cayenne.

2 . Stage

Line a rimmed baking sheet large with foil and set a wire rack on top. Lay bacon in a single layer on rack. Bake, rotating tray halfway through, until bacon is just golden, about 30 minutes.

3 . Stage

Remove tray from oven and brush bacon generously with maple mixture. Turn oven to broil and return bacon to oven until glaze is thickened and bacon is crisp, watching carefully as it will cook fast, about 3 more minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.

4 . Stage

Meanwhile, in another small bowl, whisk mayonnaise with chili powder and paprika. Season with salt and pepper.

5 . Stage

Spread mayonnaise on 2 slices of bread. Top each slice with lettuce, tomato, and bacon, then close sandwiches with remaining 2 slices bread.
