How to Make Maple Candied Bacon

Jump to Recipe

maple candied bacon58.24 PM

Sweet and savory bacon.  What’s not to love about that?  I have admitted my love for bacon in the past, and now I am taking it a step further.  I love sweet bacon.  Yes, it’s true.  I love to put maple syrup on my breakfast bacon.  It’s like heaven to me.  Have you ever had candied bacon?  It’s pretty divine.  Today I am sharing an easy way to make Maple Candied Bacon, a completely drool-worthy recipe.

Most of the food I make is healthy, nutrient-dense, and made to nourish the body.  That’s how I roll in my kitchen.  But somethings are just for complete enjoyment.  This is one of those things.  I happen to believe that bacon has a place (and a BIG one, I might add) in a healthy diet.  And I am not opposed to eating good quality sweets in moderation.  This recipe takes the cake in both of those categories.  Eat it by itself, serve it with a decadent brunch, or chop it up and add it to your desserts.  Candied bacon brownies, anyone???  Maybe candied bacon on homemade vanilla ice cream?

Maple Candied Bacon

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6–7 slices of thick bacon, about a 1/2 pound (I use uncured, nitrite free humanely-raised bacon)
  • 1/2 cup REAL maple syrup (like this)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400’F
  2. Place bacon slices in a 9×13 glass baking dish and bake for 15 minutes at 400’F.
  3. Remove bacon from oven and drain the grease out of the pan.
  4. Turn oven down to 350’F. Pour maple syrup over bacon slices and flip bacon around until well coated. Return to oven and bake for 30-35 minutes more (until bacon is crispy and syrup is caramel-like,) flipping the bacon slices at least once during this time. Be watchful for the last 5-10 minutes as it burns quickly.
  5. Remove from oven and place bacon slices on a plate to cool and harden. Placing it in the fridge or freezer will speed up this process.

    With maple syrup, Grade B is actually a better quality than Grade A. The recipe looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

      I didn’t know that. I usually get whichever organic one is on sale. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂

    Would the candied bacon be edible after 5 days in an airtight storage container? Would like to send some to my grandson @college.

      Not sure about keeping it out of the fridge that long. I keep mine in the fridge. It probably wouldn’t stay good for 5 days. BUMMER! Your grandson would love it!
