Equipment

USA Pan Bakeware Jelly Roll Pan, Warp Resistant Nonstick Baking Pan, Made in the USA from Aluminized Steel

Ingredients

12 slices thick-cut bacon
1/3-1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup
Cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F while you place a baking rack on a pan.
Lightly stretch the bacon, then lay each piece on the rack.
Brush each strip of bacon with maple syrup, then top with pepper. Turn bacon over and again add syrup and pepper.
Bake bacon 45-55 minutes, depending on how you prefer your bacon. 45-50 minutes will result in a chewier bacon. 50-55 can result in crispier pieces.

Notes

I do not recommend thin-cut bacon.
