Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for cooking the bacon.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Glaze

    In a bowl, mix together the maple syrup, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Arrange the Bacon

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and arrange the thick cut bacon on the rack in a single layer.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Glaze the Bacon

    Using a brush or spoon, generously coat each piece of bacon with the spicy maple glaze, making sure to cover both sides.

  2. 5

    Bake the Bacon

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

  3. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Once done, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delicious breakfast side or snack.
