Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.
-
Cut bacon slices in half.
-
Weave the lattices. To form one bacon lattice, you'll need 6 bacon halves total. First, line 3 bacon halves side-by-side on the pan. Lift one end of the middle bacon slice and place a 4th bacon half on top of the side pieces and underneath the middle slice. Lay the middle slice back down. Next, lift the two side strips of bacon and place a 5th bacon half on top of the middle piece and underneath the sides. Lay the side slices back down. Finally, lift the other end of the middle slice and place a 6th slice on top of the side pieces and underneath the middle slice. Repeat the weaving process 4 times.
-
Place an inverted oven-proof rack on top of the bacon slices.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the bacon starts becoming golden-brown but is not yet crispy.
-
Remove the pan from oven, carefully take off the rack and brush the bacon with maple syrup. Replace the rack, upside-down, and return the pan to oven. Bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and cooked through.
