Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Bacon
Take the 500 grams of bacon and lay it out flat on a cutting board or a clean surface. Make sure the slices do not overlap.
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle 1 tsp of black pepper and 1 tsp of garlic powder evenly over the bacon slices. If you prefer a little more flavor, you can adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Preheat the Pan
In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Allow the oil to get hot but not smoking.
Cook the Bacon
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the seasoned bacon slices into the skillet. Cook the bacon for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired crispiness.
Add Maple Syrup
In the last minute of cooking, drizzle 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the bacon. Let it caramelize slightly for about 1 minute while the bacon finishes cooking.
Drain Excess Fat
Once the bacon is done, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
Serve
Serve the bacon hot as a delicious side dish or topping for your favorite meals.
