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 and place a wire rack on top.

  2. 2

    Arrange the Bacon

    Lay the applewood smoked bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap.

  3. 3

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the bacon slices. Drizzle the maple syrup over the bacon for added sweetness.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bacon

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

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once done, remove from the oven and let the bacon drain on paper towels before serving. Enjoy your delicious applewood smoked bacon!
