Method

Preparation Steps

  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

    Combine Spices

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Coat the Bacon

    Place the applewood smoked bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them lightly with maple syrup.

  4. 4

    Add the Sugar Mixture

    Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bacon strips, ensuring each strip is coated.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to paper towels to drain excess grease. Serve warm.
