Ingredients

3/4 pound thick-cut smoked bacon (16 slices)
1 to 2 tablespoons good maple syrup

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and arrange the bacon in 1 layer on the baking rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the bacon begins to brown. Remove the pan carefully from the oven; there will be hot grease in the pan! Brush the bacon slices with maple syrup and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the bacon is a warm golden brown. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and serve warm.

Love it more with one addition
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love the technique and taste of the original recipe. I think with Katie Lee Joel's addition, (on FN's website) of dijon... mustard makes it better. I added a heaping teaspoon. Also, in my opinion, thick cut bacon is a must! I made it ahead, and layered it in damp paper towels to reheat.Read more

Great way to spice up regular bacon!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this with turkey bacon and loved it! The maple syrup did make the bacon more prone to sticking to my teeth, but that... might just have been that it didn't absorb into the turkey bacon as much as pork bacon due to the lower fat content. This was a very simple way to add something new to an old dish and I will definitely be trying it again!Read more

Wow! That's some good bacon
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Let me start with: I haven't had bacon in over two years (I was on a vegetarian kick) and now that I am pregnant, I am... craving bacon with every meal! I ordered a side of bacon at a diner over the weekend and was really disappointed, it was soggy, lacked flavor, and just didn't deliver that bacony-crispness that I was after. I tried this recipe to make BLT's and I have to say, this is amazing. First of all, the clean up was a breeze (line the baking pan with tin foil and you don't have any bacon grease to deal with). Secondly, the flavor was great. The sweetness of the maple syrup compliments the smokiness of the bacon so well. I do recommend thick-cut bacon, center-cut if possible, to really deliver the goods. Crispy, sweet, salty, everything this mama-to-be could possibly ask for!Read more
