Preparation

Step 1

1) Preheat oven to 375. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (don't skip this step!) and set a wire cooling rack in the center of the pan.

2) Lay the bacon pieces on the rack. Mix the pepper and syrup together and paint each piece of bacon with the peppered syrup with a pastry brush. Flip them over and paint again. Now grind a generous amount of pepper on the side that is currently facing up.

3) Bake the bacon until crispy, about 25 minutes. Cool for a few minutes on the rack and then finish cooling to room temperature on a plate. And don't even try to eat just one...it's impossible.
