Local 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

    Mix the Seasonings

    In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Coat the Bacon

    Lay the bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Brush each strip with maple syrup, then sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the bacon.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bacon

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm as a delicious side or topping for your favorite dishes.
