1 Video | Photo: Maple-Candied Bacon Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound thick sliced bacon, good quality
- 1/2 cup maple syrup, Grade B
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Finely ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy foil. Place a baking rack over the lined sheet tray and arrange the bacon slices across the rack next to each other, not overlapping.
In a small bowl, whisk the maple syrup and mustard. Generously spoon over the top of the bacon, and bake 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the bacon over and baste with syrup mixture. Bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the bacon has reached desired crispiness.
Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle hot bacon with a scant pinch of finely ground black pepper. Let the bacon rest on the rack for 5 minutes.

I was hoping to try something different from Alex Guarnaschelli's recipe for candied bacon and came across this one, with it's apparent fantastic reviews raving about how yummy it is. I followed the recipe exactly and within ten minutes, before I could even baste it, my bacon was burnt to ashes beyond anything I could possibly find enjoyable and the money I spent for quality bacon was down the drain. That, and I was left hungry. So to anyone looking to enjoy this recipe, please, do yourself a favor and keep a hawks eye on them suckers lest you end up a disappointed fool like myself.

Un-be-lie-va-ble. I would recommend doubling the sauce, however, because there isn't quite enough to "generously" coat the bacon AND baste it later.

SOOO GOOD! It did take a bit longer than the recipe stated and I read the recipe wrong and mixed the pepper into the syrup and mustard instead of sprinkling it on after but it was still amazing.
