1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients: bacon slices, black pepper, maple syrup, and olive oil.
2
Preheat the Pan
Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to heat for about 1-2 minutes until shimmering.
3
Cook the Bacon
Lay the bacon slices flat in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until crispy and golden brown.
4
Flip the Bacon
Using tongs, carefully flip each slice of bacon and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes on the other side until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
5
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle the cooked bacon with black pepper to taste. If desired, drizzle a tablespoon of maple syrup over the bacon for a sweet glaze.
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease. Serve hot.
