Maple Glazed Baked BACON ~ VERY LOW CARB

One tray of delicious maple glazed bacon.
Ingredients:
12 slices thick cut bacon
1/3 cup sugar free maple syrup**
1 1/2 teaspoons Lakanto Golden sweetener

Method:
Preheat oven to 400*. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a "cooling" rack on top of the prepared baking sheet.
Lay the slices of bacon, in a single layer, on top of the rack. (The bacon needs to be above the rack, so that they are not sitting in the drippings.)
In a small glass bowl, or measuring cup, stir together the syrup and golden sweetener. Heat in a microwave oven for 30 seconds. Stir. Brush half of the syrup mixture on top of the bacon. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn over the slices of bacon. Brush with the remaining syrup. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked to the level that you prefer. (Thinner slices may require a little less cooking time and thicker slices, a little more.  Makes 12 delicious slices

Nutritional info per slice, approximately:
61.55 calories ~4.2 grams fat ~ 0.42 grams net carbs ~ 4.1 grams protein

**I use Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup, sweetened with Monkfruit, because I prefer the taste of Monkfruit over other sweeteners. (You may use the sugar free maple syrup of your choice.)

Notes: Very simple and tasty ~ my husband said it is the best bacon he has ever tasted!
