Maple Glazed Bacon Ends
Maple Glazed Bacon Ends
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of bacon ends
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Chopped fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or chives)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Arrange the bacon ends on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper until well combined.
- Brush the maple glaze mixture evenly over the bacon ends, ensuring they are well coated.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon ends are crispy and caramelized, and the glaze is bubbly.
- Keep an eye on the bacon to prevent burning, as the sugars in the maple syrup can cause it to darken quickly.
- Once cooked to your desired level of crispiness, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Transfer the bacon ends to a serving platter or plate, and garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
- Allow the bacon ends to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious maple glazed bacon ends as a flavorful snack, appetizer, or as a unique addition to your favorite dishes!
