Cooking Instructions

  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

    Season the Bacon

    Place the thick-cut applewood smoked bacon strips on the baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the black pepper, brown sugar, maple syrup, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly over the bacon.

  3. 3

    Bake the Bacon

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized to your liking. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

  4. 4

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bacon cool slightly before transferring it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve warm.
