Crispy Bacon

If you mean a bacon recipe, here’s a simple one:

Crispy Bacon

Ingredients

• 8–10 strips bacon

• Black pepper, optional

• 1 tsp maple syrup, optional

Method

1. Place the bacon in a cold skillet in a single layer.

2. Turn the heat to medium and cook for about 3–5 minutes.

3. Flip and continue cooking until browned and crisp, another 2–4 minutes.

4. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

5. For a sweet version, brush with a little maple syrup during the final minute and cook briefly until glossy.

Oven method: Place bacon on a lined baking sheet and bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 15–20 minutes, depending on thickness and how crisp you like it.

Be careful with the hot rendered fat—it can splatter.
