Maple Candied Bacon
Ingredients:
- 1 pound thick-cut bacon
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup brown sugar
- Coarsely ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a roasting rack. Lightly spritz the rack with a nonstick spray.
Lay out the bacon on the rack, leaving just a tiny bit of room between each piece.
Brush the bacon with the maple syrup and then sprinkle with the brown sugar. Top with a generous sprinkling of pepper.
Finally, bake until the sugar is melted and the bacon is crisp, about 15-17 minutes.
Let the bacon cool for 5 minutes before removing it from the rack and serving.
