I saw Ina make this on her food network cooking show. The episode was entitled "Bed and Breakfast". Cooking bacon in the oven instead of frying it on the stovetop is a very easy preparation method.

Absolutely superb! Easy and delicious way to get perfect, crisp bacon. I also sprinkle a bit of sweet Szeged paprika on it. The only problem I have is that my children devour the maple roasted bacon like hungry puppies. I remembered this from Barefoot Contessa's East Hampton store years ago. Never knew it would be so easy to make at home! ??

I was looking for a decadent but easy way to have bacon for breakfast this morning, since I'm on vacation. I came across this recipe and decided this was simple enough to do. Followed exactly as posted, except the baking time in my oven was a bit longer. THE END RESULT IS AMAZING. It's like a crisp, bacon candy, yet not overly sweet! The biggest problem is that I made a lot, intending to just feed myself, and I ended up only getting a bacon and a half because they were raided by everyone. Next time I'm making this in quantity.

Made this for my Mother's Day brunch yesterday and I thought it was fabulous! Everyone raved over the bacon's flavor and texture and I was pleased that I was able to stick it in the oven and walk away instead of standing there frying it. Will make it like this from now on.

I wanted something special for breakfast and this recipe came to mind. The bacon is really delicious and really hit the spot! My company loved it and asked how I made it. This is the only way to go with bacon for us! -
I gave this recipe 5 stars. I made this for my families Sunday Big Breakfast. This was very good bacon! My 5 yr old newphew and I loved this bacon. My 7 yr old niece did not like it. I made a few minor changes to the recipe. I used the bacon I had on hand which was thin. But it turned out just like I've had at restaurants. It was perfectly crisp! I also used Sugar Free Log Cabin syrup in place of the maple syrup. Overall this was great bacon! I will so make this again for my family! Thanks so much for posting this recipe.
