main
| 1/2 Cup | brown sugar |
| 1 Tablespoon | ground fennel |
| 2 Teaspoon | kosher salt |
| 1 Teaspoon | freshly ground black pepper |
| 1 Pound | pork belly or slab bacon, diced into 1-inch cubes |
Steps
1
When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 350°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
350 ˚F / 177 ˚C
2
Fold a 12-inch x 36-inch piece of aluminum foil in half and crimp the edges so there is a rim. Using a fork, poke holes in the bottom of the foil. This way, some of the bacon fat will be rendered out and the bacon bites will be crisp.
3
In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground fennel, salt and black pepper. Stir to combine. Place the diced pork belly into the sugar mixture and toss until well-coated. Transfer the pork pieces to the foil.
4
Place the foil directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and bake until the pieces are crispy, glazed and bubbly about 20-30 minutes.
