Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1/2 pound thick cut bacon, slices cut in half
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (the real stuff, please!)
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for the sprinkle at the end
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 375. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (don’t skip this step!) and set a wire cooling rack in the center of the pan.
- Lay the bacon pieces on the rack. Mix the pepper and syrup together and paint each piece of bacon with the peppered syrup with a pastry brush. Flip them over and paint again. Now grind a generous amount of pepper on the side that is currently facing up.
- Bake the bacon until crispy, about 25 minutes. Cool for a few minutes on the rack and then finish cooling to room temperature on a plate. And don’t even try to eat just one…it’s impossible.
