Description
The ultimate sweet and savory treat, maple bacon is easy to make and even easier to pair with your favorite dishes. It is done in less than 30 minutes and is so simple to roast in the oven for hands-off cooking time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 pound thick cut bacon
- 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a bowl large enough to hold the bacon, add the maple syrup and brown sugar. Stir to combine, then add the bacon.
- With your hands, coat the bacon with the maple syrup mixture until all the pieces are coated.
- Lay the bacon slices onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
- Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, checking at 15 minutes, then 7-10 minutes later, depending on how well your oven holds the temperature.
- When the bacon is done to your liking, move the slices to a new piece of parchment to cool. (If you use paper towels, it will stick!)
- The bacon becomes less sticky as it cools and is ready to eat immediately.
