Bacon Ingredients

Method

Bacon Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Arrange the Bacon

    Place the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that the strips do not overlap.

  3. 3

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon. If using, also sprinkle ground cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

  4. 4

    Add Sweetness

    Drizzle the brown sugar and maple syrup over the bacon strips, ensuring each strip is coated.

  5. 5

    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 to prevent burning.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bacon cool on paper towels to absorb excess grease. Serve warm.
