- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400F and set a wire rack over a foil-lined sheet pan.

Roast 25-30 minutes, until deeply golden and crisp, brushing with maple in the last few minutes if using.

Notes
Farm tip: Jowl is fattier than belly bacon — roast it a little longer and let the fat fully render for maximum crunch.
Serving suggestion: Serve over creamy grits or a frisee salad with a poached egg.
