I have not tried this recipe, but it sounds amazing...
6 strips of bacon, the thicker the better
1/4 cup maple syrup
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. If you have a convection-roasting feature, use that. If not, regular baking will work fine.
Place cool racks inside the baking pan. There should be about 1/4 inch of space between the pan and the cooling racks. This will allow hot air to get under the bacon and cool it all over.
Lay your bacon strips on the cooling rack so that the strips run perpendicular to the rack rods.
Pour syrup into a small bowl and then dip a basting brush and paint each strip. Then set aside the syrup. This step should be done by your child.
Bake the bacon for about 10 minutes.
Pull the pan out and parent paint another coat of syrup on the bacon and put it back in the oven.
Bake for another 1-2 minutes, or until the bacon is done to your desired crispiness level.
