Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, paprika and cayenne pepper.
Place each bacon strip in the bowl, one at a time, and lightly cover with the sugar mix on all sides.
Place bacon strips on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Turn the sheet pan around halfway through baking. Do not burn.
