Maple Glazed Bacon: A Sweet & Savory Delight

Maple glazed bacon is a truly indulgent treat! The smoky, salty bacon is perfectly balanced by the rich, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor of maple syrup. It’s fantastic on its own, crumbled over pancakes, waffles, or even as a topping for baked potatoes. It’s a crowd-pleaser!

Maple Glazed Bacon Recipe

Yields: 6-8 slices
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 6-8 slices thick-cut bacon
• 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup (use real maple syrup for the best flavor!)
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra smokiness)
• Pinch of black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bacon: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Lay the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

2. Glaze it Up: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, smoked paprika (if using), and black pepper.

3. Cook the Bacon: You have two options:

   • Oven Method: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
   • Stovetop Method: Cook over medium heat in a cold skillet. Add the bacon and let it cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes to develop a nice crust. Then, flip and cook for another 5-10 minutes until crispy.
4. Glaze During Cooking: During the last 5-7 minutes of cooking, brush the bacon liberally with the maple glaze. Turn the bacon frequently to ensure it’s evenly coated and caramelized.

5. Rest & Serve: Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container.

Notes:

• Crispy Bacon Tip: For extra crispy bacon, cook over medium-low heat and turn frequently.
• Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze for a little heat.
