Maple-roasted Streaky Bacon

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 200°C/Gas mark 6. Set a wire rack on top of a baking tray and lay the bacon rashers out in a single layer across the rack.

2. 2

   Roast for 15–20 minutes until the bacon starts to colour. Carefully remove the tray from the oven, taking care as rendered fat will have collected in the tray.

3. 3

   Using a pastry brush, coat each rasher with maple syrup, then return to the oven for a further 3–5 minutes until the bacon turns a deep golden colour.

4. 4

   Move the cooked bacon onto a plate covered with kitchen paper and serve while still warm.
