Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices low-sodium turkey bacon
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Place a wire rack on top of the prepared baking sheet. This will allow the bacon to crisp up evenly as the air circulates around it.
In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, paprika, and brown sugar until well combined.
Lay the slices of low-sodium turkey bacon on the wire rack, making sure they do not overlap. This will help them cook evenly and become crispy.
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the top side of each bacon slice with maple syrup.
Sprinkle the mixed spices and sugar evenly over the bacon slices to add flavor.
Place the baking sheet with the bacon in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 25 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. Keep an eye on it as turkey bacon tends to cook faster than regular bacon.
Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on the rack for a few minutes. This helps it become even crispier.
Serve immediately as part of a breakfast platter or use in sandwiches, salads, or as a garnish for soups.
