Crispy Caramelised Bacon with Maple Syrup 8 thin slices of bacon2 tbsp maple syrupFreshly ground black pepperMinimal flakes of buckwheat Preheat the oven to 190C fan. Line a large flat baking tray with non-stick baking paper (grease paper).Spread the bacon slices on the parchment paper next to each other in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.Using a silicone brush, generously brush the top side of each bacon slice with the maple syrup. Sprinkle with a little freshly ground black pepper and the chives.Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes. The syrup will caramelise with the bacon fat, giving it a deep golden/dark colour.Remove the pan from the oven. Using tongs, immediately transfer the hot bacon slices to a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels. Let stand for 3-5 minutes; as it cools, the syrup will solidify and the bacon will crisp up.
