Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Arrange the turkey bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the glaze.
Using a basting brush, gently brush the maple glaze mixture evenly over the turkey bacon slices.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip each slice of turkey bacon.
Brush the other side of the turkey bacon slices with more of the maple glaze.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and edges are crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving. The bacon will crisp up slightly as it cools.
Serve the low sodium maple-glazed turkey bacon immediately. Enjoy!
