Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Bacon
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top. This will help the bacon cook evenly and become crispy.
- 2
Arrange the Bacon
Lay the thick-cut bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure the slices do not overlap.
- 3
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the bacon slices. For added flavor, you can drizzle maple syrup and sprinkle brown sugar on top of the bacon.
- 4
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and browned to your liking. Keep an eye on it towards the end to avoid burning.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Serve hot and enjoy!
