Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Glaze

    In a medium bowl, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Coat the Bacon

    Dip each slice of bacon into the glaze, ensuring both sides are well coated. Place the glazed bacon slices on the wire rack.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bacon

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

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

    Once done, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your sticky, sweet savory pieces!
