Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces bacon smoked
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup real, divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place the bacon in a single layer over the foil and set aside.
  • Whisk together 2 tablespoons syrup and cayenne pepper. Using a pastry brush, brush it over the bacon.
  • Bake in the oven for 18-22 minutes or until crisp (be sure to watch it at the end–the syrup on the bacon will burn in a really short period of time!) Remove the pan from the oven and then use tongs to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • If desired, brush with remaining 1 tablespoon of syrup. This bacon is just as good at room temperature as it is hot.
