Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 light spray Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the wire rack with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the turkey bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they do not overlap.
In a small bowl, mix the pure maple syrup with ground black pepper until well combined.
Using a brush, lightly glaze each slice of turkey bacon on one side with the maple syrup mixture.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes.
Carefully flip the turkey bacon slices over with tongs and brush the other side with the remaining maple syrup mixture.
Continue baking for an additional 7 minutes, or until the turkey bacon is crispy and caramelized to your liking.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes on the wire rack to crisp up further.
Serve the maple-glazed turkey bacon immediately as a part of a heart-healthy breakfast or as a delicious snack.
