Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure even cooking of the bacon.
Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow the grease to drain off the bacon.
Mix the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine the black pepper, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to create an even seasoning blend.
Prepare the Bacon
Arrange the thick-cut bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the bacon slices. Drizzle the maple syrup over the top of the bacon for added sweetness.
Cooking
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent burning.
Cooling the Bacon
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes on the wire rack. This will allow it to crisp up further.
Serving
Once cooled, transfer the peppered bacon to a serving platter and enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
