Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

  2. 2

    Arrange the Bacon

    Place the thick-cut bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the bacon slices. Drizzle the maple syrup over the bacon for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bacon

    Bake the bacon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy to your liking. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once done, remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve hot.
