Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together Maple syrup, Brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and Black pepper until well combined.
Twist the Bacon: Take 2-3 bacon strips and loosely twist them together. Repeat with remaining bacon.
Arrange the bacon twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the bacon twists generously with the Maple Glaze.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and glaze is caramelized. Flip halfway through baking and brush with remaining glaze.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
