Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the wire rack with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Using a brush, lightly glaze each slice of turkey bacon on one side with the maple syrup mixture.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes.
Step 7
Carefully flip the turkey bacon slices over with tongs and brush the other side with the remaining maple syrup mixture.
Step 8
Continue baking for an additional 7 minutes, or until the turkey bacon is crispy and caramelized to your liking.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes on the wire rack to crisp up further.
Step 10
Serve the maple-glazed turkey bacon immediately as a part of a heart-healthy breakfast or as a delicious snack.
