Applewood Smoked Bacon
Method
Cooking Instructions
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 the baking sheet.
Mix the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine black pepper, brown sugar, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a glaze.
Coat the Bacon
Lay the applewood smoked bacon strips in a single layer on the wire rack. Brush the glaze mixture over each strip of bacon using a pastry brush. Make sure each slice is well coated.
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 the bacon to prevent burning.
Cool and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the rack for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delicious side or topping.
