Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Bacon
Take the pound of bacon and lay it flat on a cutting board. If the bacon is in slices, keep them together as they come in the package.
- 2
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon. If you love a little spice, feel free to add more to taste.
- 3
Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and brown sugar. Mix until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- 4
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the bacon cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
- 5
Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
- 6
Arrange the Bacon
Place the seasoned bacon slices on the wire rack in a single layer. Ensure that the slices do not overlap.
- 7
Apply the Glaze
Using a brush or spoon, drizzle the maple syrup and brown sugar mixture over the bacon slices, ensuring an even coating.
- 8
Bake the Bacon
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- 9
Cool and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Serve warm.
