Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  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 of it. This will allow the fat to drip off the bacon while it cooks.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, black pepper, and maple syrup to create a glaze. Lay the slices of applewood smoked bacon on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Brush the glaze evenly over the bacon slices.

Cooking

  1. 3

    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 towards the end to prevent burning.

  2. 4

    Cool and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes on the rack. This will help it crisp up even more. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
