Bacon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    Place the thick-cut bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Brush this mixture evenly over the bacon.

  3. 3

    Bake the Bacon

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

  4. 4

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious thick-cut bacon as a side or topping!
