Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    Lay the applewood smoked bacon strips in a single layer on the baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, black pepper, maple syrup, and red pepper flakes. Brush the mixture generously over the bacon strips.

  3. 3

    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 to prevent burning.

    Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious applewood smoked bacon!
