Maple-Roasted Bacon

We only eat bacon once in a while but when we do we love to prepare it in the oven. Having the bacon roast on a rack so you don’t have to keep turning it in the pan is a time saver for me.

At the end you brush it with maple syrup and the flavor is awesome!

Use thick bacon and a good maple syrup.

Refrigerate leftover bacon fat to use in roast vegetables and to flavor dressings.
