Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Bacon
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Season the Bacon
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. If desired, add maple syrup for a sweeter glaze.
Coat the Bacon
Lay the applewood smoked bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the bacon.
Bake the Bacon
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it towards the end to avoid burning.
Cool and Serve
Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve warm or at room temperature.
