Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep 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

    In a small bowl, combine black pepper, maple syrup, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to form a paste.

  3. 3

    Apply the Seasoning

    Place the bacon strips on the lined baking sheet. Brush the seasoning mixture onto both sides of the bacon strips.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bacon

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Serve warm.
