Bacon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Arrange the Bacon

    Lay the bacon strips on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.

  3. 3

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon strips. Drizzle maple syrup over the top for added flavor.

  4. 4

    Bake the Bacon

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, carefully remove the bacon from the oven and let it drain on paper towels for a minute before serving.
