Add a sweet note to savory bacon with a glaze of pure maple syrup.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, arrange bacon in a single layer. Bake until fat is rendered and bacon is beginning to brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Carefully remove from oven and brush with pure maple syrup. Bake until bacon is browned and sticky, 3 to 5 minutes. With tongs, transfer to a wire rack, then set rack on baking sheet and let bacon drain. Serve warm.

Cook's Notes

Rather than frying on the stove-top, this bacon cooks easily in the oven. Refrigerate leftover bacon fat to use in roast vegetables, greens and flavor dressings.
