Bacon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.

  2. 2

    Mix the Seasoning

    In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes.

  3. 3

    Coat the Bacon

    Lay the thick-cut bacon strips on the wire rack. Brush the bacon with maple syrup and then generously sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the top.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bacon

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let the bacon cool on the rack for a few minutes before serving.
