- ½ teaspoon (1.2 g) freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (30 mL) pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Put the bacon in a medium skillet and cook over medium heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon is very crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon fat.
