Ingredients
- ½ lbs. bacon
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, brown sugar and black pepper and mix until well combined.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with a nonstick pan spray.
- Cut the bacon strips in half and place bacon in a single layer on the baking sheet. Do not overlap them.
- Brush the brown sugar mixture over the strips of bacon on both sides.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven on the center rack and bake for 18-20 minutes . Check the oven as the bacon cooks so it doesn’t burn. The thickness of the bacon will determine how long it takes to cook
- Let the bacon cool on a wire rack briefly before serving.
- Bacon can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 10 days. It can also be frozen in a well sealed container for up to 3 months.
