Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Arrange Bacon

    Lay the bacon strips flat on the baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overlapping to ensure even cooking.

  3. 3

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon strips. If desired, sprinkle brown sugar and drizzle maple syrup on top for a sweet and savory 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. Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Serve warm.
