Preheat oven to 350.

Mix brown sugar, rice vinegar, maple syrup, black pepper and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Place bacon slices on a rack set over a baking sheet line with foil or parchment paper. Helps with the clean up later on.

Bake for 10 minutes, turn slices, and bake another 5 minutes.

Remove pan from oven and brush both sides of bacon with brown sugar mixture. Return bacon to the oven and bake another 5 minutes. Do this 2-3 more times until bacon is browned and crisp.
