Take the bacon strips out of the package and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking.

Cook the Bacon
Add the bacon strips to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy and golden brown.

Add Maple Syrup
In the last couple of minutes of cooking, drizzle maple syrup over the bacon strips. Let it caramelize slightly for a sweet glaze.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Serve warm.
