This is one of my favorite quick weeknight sides, and honestly, it's almost embarrassingly easy to make. Sweet marmalade glazes beautifully over crispy bacon while it cooks, creating this gorgeous caramelized coating that tastes far more impressive than the five minutes of actual work it takes. The whole thing comes together in just twenty minutes total, which makes it perfect for when you want something special but don't have much time. Plus, chives are packed with vitamin K, which is wonderful for bone health. The best part? You probably have most of these ingredients already in your kitchen, so there's no fussy shopping list required.

Preheat the oven to 240ºC, gas mark 9. Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Separate the bacon into rashers and add them to the tray along with the sugar, 3 tbsp of the dressing and some freshly ground black pepper. Use your hands to toss everything together, then separate the rashers again and arrange in an even layer (no need to flatten or straighten as you want them to curl up during cooking).
