Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Bacon

    In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the country bacon, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Drizzle the maple syrup over the seasoned bacon and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator to enhance the flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Skillet

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    Add the marinated country bacon to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

  3. 5

    Garnish

    Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the bacon before serving.
