Prepare the Bacon
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Season the Bacon
Lay the applewood smoked bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili flakes if using. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the bacon slices.

Add Maple Syrup
Drizzle maple syrup over the bacon for added flavor and sweetness.

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

Cool and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool slightly on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Serve warm.
