Maple Syrup Bacon
When I make breakfast I have a lot of pans going at one time and frying can be messy. Cooking bacon in the oven is an easy alternative!
Twisting the bacon allows it to cook evenly so there’s no need to turn it. A sprinkling of maple syrup gives the bacon a sweet, almost candied taste that is the ideal accompaniment to breakfast foods like waffles and pancakes. This is definitely an easy, delicious, weekend brunch favorite!
ingredients:
1 pound (1 slab) bacon
1/3 cup of maple syrup (approx)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Line the bottom of sheet pan with foil. On top of that, place a wire rack.
Twist each piece of bacon and place it on the rack, then drizzle with a touch of maple syrup.
Bake for 20 minutes, then serve.
what a great bacon cooking tip – who would have ever thought that twisting them would help in the crisping and cooking department
I’ve made bacon cooked with brown sugar that crystalizes on the bacon surface when it cools, but this looks different (and probably less messy!) Never thought to twist the bacon. Which sounds like something college kids in the 1950s did. “Hey, Porgie! You comin’ down to Pop’s Sodium Shop to see Mudhead twist that bacon?” “Heck yeah!”
very cool! i like how you twist the bacon! i have a similar recipe but i put cracked black pepper as well as the maple syrup.
i will have to do the “twist” next time as well as get a rack; makes it easier instead of peeling it off the foiled pan.
I do agree with all of the ideas you have introduced for your post. They are very convincing and can definitely work. Still, the posts are very brief for newbies. Could you please extend them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
