Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Remove the applewood smoked bacon from its packaging and lay it flat on a cutting board.

  2. 2

    Optional Seasoning

    If desired, sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon for added flavor. You can also drizzle maple syrup over the bacon for a sweet contrast.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the rack.

  2. 4

    Bake

    Bake the bacon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and browned to your liking. Check around the 15-minute mark to ensure it doesn't burn.

  3. 5

    Drain Excess Grease

    Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Serve the smoked applewood bacon hot. Enjoy it as a breakfast side, in sandwiches, or as a topping for salads.
