1
Prepare the Bacon
Lay the bacon strips flat on a large plate or cutting board.
2
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon strips to taste.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium heat until hot.
4
Cook the Bacon
Place the bacon strips into the heated skillet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown.
5
Add Maple Syrup
During the last minute of cooking, drizzle maple syrup over the bacon strips. Allow them to caramelize slightly for extra flavor.
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve warm.
