Maple Bacon

1 Line a jelly roll pan or a rimmed baking sheet with two layers of parchment paper.
2 Cut the [wprm-ingredient text="5 slices bacon" uid="1"] halves and place the bacon on the jelly roll pan.
7 Pour [wprm-ingredient text="2 tablespoons maple syrup" uid="2"] into a small bowl. 
3 Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the bacon with the syrup.
4 Place in a cold oven, and set the temperature to 425°F. Set a timer for 12-15 minutes. (Check on them, as the bake time will depend on the thickness of the bacon, and if your bacon is thinner, it could burn. This is really important, as the maple has sugars that can and will burn if you are not careful.)
5 If the bacon is extremely thick, consider setting a timer for the 8-10 minute mark and flipping with tongs before placing back into the oven to continue baking.
6 When the bacon is crispy and caramelized, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before enjoying.
