Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and place a wire rack on top.
Prepare the Bacon: Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the wire rack. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, brown sugar, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
Glaze the Bacon: Brush the maple mixture generously over each strip of bacon, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. The bacon will become even crispier as it cools.
Enjoy this delightful Maple Bacon as a side dish or a sweet addition to your breakfast favorites!
