How to Make Barefoot Contessa's Maple Roasted Bacon
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This allows the bacon to crisp evenly and prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is starting to brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. **Caution:** The baking sheet will be hot, and there will be hot grease in the pan.
- Using a pastry brush or spoon, gently brush the bacon slices with 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until the bacon is a warm, golden brown and the maple syrup has caramelized slightly.
- Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Serve immediately and enjoy!
