    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a rack on top.

  2. 2

    Mix the Seasoning

    In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, black pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Coat the Bacon

    Arrange the applewood smoked bacon slices on the rack. Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over the bacon slices.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bacon

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
