Method
Preparation
- 1
Prep the Bacon
Lay out 12 slices of bacon on a clean cutting board. Use kitchen scissors to trim any excess fat if desired.

Season the Bacon
In a small bowl, mix together black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the bacon slices.
- 3
Glaze the Bacon
Drizzle maple syrup over each bacon slice, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the bacon sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cooking

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

Arrange the Bacon
Place the seasoned bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
- 6
Bake the Bacon
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

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