Preheat the oven to 400 and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, covering it entirely and up the sides. Place a rack in the baking sheet and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Lay out bacon strips on top of the rack and cook it for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk maple syrup and Dijon mustard together until combined.
After bacon has been cooking for 15 minutes, take it out and brush it with maple/Dijon glaze. Season bacon with some freshly ground black pepper.
Put bacon back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes until nice and crispy. (Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the bacon you are using.)
Take the bacon out of the oven and lay the strips out on a paper towel.
