Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, lay the bacon slices out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure the slices do not overlap to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon slices. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup and brown sugar until well combined. Brush the mixture over the bacon slices, coating them evenly.

  3. 3

    Bake the Bacon

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

  4. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and transfer the slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
