Maple Glazed Peppered Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange the bacon on a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the fat starts rendering, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and blot the bacon with paper towels on both sides.
• Combine the brown sugar, maple syrup and cayenne in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, stirring, until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Brush the bacon with half the syrup mixture and sprinkle with half the ground peppercorns. Bake until the bacon browns around the edges, about 15 minutes. Flip and blot the other side with paper towels, then brush with the remaining syrup mixture (reheat in the microwave, if necessary); sprinkle with the remaining peppercorns. Continue baking until the bacon browns and the sugar melts, 15 to 20 more minutes. Let cool slightly.

Steps:

• Position wire racks on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Lay 1 pound bacon in a single layer on the racks and bake 7 minutes at 375 degrees F. Brush with maple syrup and continue baking until caramelized, about 25 minutes, flipping, brushing with syrup and seasoning with pepper every 5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the racks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place bacon on a wire rack, and set the rack over a baking pan. Brush maple syrup on each bacon slice.
• Bake 5 minutes; brush again with syrup. Bake 5 minutes more, or until tops are browned. Flip, brush with maple syrup, and bake, brushing again after 5 minutes, continue baking until bacon is well browned and glazed, about 25 minutes total. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
• Arrange bacon slices in 1 layer (not overlapping) on racks of 2 large broiler pans (if you only have one, use a large rectangular metal rack set inside a large baking pan for the second). Bake until fat is rendered but bacon isn't crisp, about 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Arrange all of bacon in 1 layer on rack of 1 broiler pan. Brush top with syrup and sprinkle with pepper. Bake until bacon is crisp and deep golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, glazed side up, on paper towels.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together the maple syrup, mustard and pepper in a small bowl. Lay the bacon on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 9 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon and place on a baking rack over a separate baking sheet. Using a paper towel, blot and soak up any excess oil. Then, using a pastry brush, generously glaze the bacon with the syrup. Return the bacon to the oven for another 1 to 2 minutes, to desired crispness. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil then a wire rack.
• Whisk together the maple syrup, pepper, and mustard. Lay the bacon on the rack being careful not to overlap. Brush the bacon with the syrup mixture.
• Put the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven and bake until golden and crisp, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with sides with foil.
• Place bacon on cookie sheet in single layer. Bake 10 minutes. Drain off fat.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat syrup and jelly, stirring occasionally, until jelly melts and syrup is warm. Remove from heat.
• Use pastry brush to brush about half the syrup mixture on bacon (you don't have to use it all, just enough to moisten bacon), then sprinkle with pepper. Bake 15 minutes.
• Flip bacon, brush with remaining syrup mixture and sprinkle with pepper. Bake 20 minutes longer or until bacon is glazed and done. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking pan with 3 layers of foil.
• Arrange the bacon on the prepared baking pan in a single layer, then sprinkle evenly with the sugar and pepper. Bake until well browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, arrange bacon in a single layer. Bake until fat is rendered and bacon is beginning to brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Carefully remove from oven and brush with pure maple syrup. Bake until bacon is browned and sticky, 3 to 5 minutes. With tongs, transfer to a wire rack, then set rack on baking sheet and let bacon drain. Serve warm.
