Ingredients

1 pound thick sliced bacon
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon maple sugar
1 tablespoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and place a cooling rack into a rimmed baking sheet.
Place the bacon onto the cooling rack and bake for about 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy but not overly browned.
In a small bowl mix together the maple syrup, maple sugar, and black pepper. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes so the maple sugar is fully dissolved.
If there is any grease on top of the bacon blot it off with a paper towel.
Carefully spoon the glaze onto the bacon and spread it thinly over the bacon.
Add the bacon back to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes or until the glaze is thick and the bacon is crispy.
Let the bacon cool and enjoy.
