Turn uncooked bacon into an irresistible snack using just a few simple

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Arrange the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each strip of bacon with maple syrup, ensuring an even coating.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized to your liking.
Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicy kick, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes over the bacon before baking. If you prefer a smokier flavor, try using smoked bacon or adding a dash of liquid smoke to the maple syrup before brushing it on the bacon. For a festive twist, consider adding a sprinkle of finely chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the syrup-coated bacon before baking.
