Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, lay the bacon slices flat on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Make sure the slices are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon slices. For a sweet and savory twist, drizzle maple syrup on top of the bacon slices, followed by an even sprinkle of brown sugar.

  3. 3

    Bake the Bacon

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Keep an eye on it as cooking times can vary depending on the thickness of the bacon.

  4. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it rest on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Serve warm as part of a breakfast spread, in sandwiches, or as a topping for salads.
