Ingredients

Gather Ingredients from the list below
12 slices Center Cut Applewood Smoked Bacon
Directions
1.
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
2.
On a cutting board, trim any fat or silver skin from the pork loin using a small, sharp knife, then set it aside.
3.
Place a strip of parchment paper on your work surface, slightly longer than the pork loin, and lay six strips of bacon side by side vertically, edges touching.
4.
Weave six more strips of bacon horizontally through the vertical ones, alternating over and under, to create a checkerboard pattern.
5.
Position the pork loin at one end of the bacon weave and use the parchment to roll the bacon around the pork, making sure not to roll the parchment into the weave.
6.
Once wrapped, unroll the parchment so it lies flat on a baking sheet, then tie cooking twine around the center and both ends of the pork to secure the bacon.
7.
Place the parchment in the center of a jelly roll pan and set the bacon-wrapped pork loin on top.
8.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes on each side, or until the bacon is crispy and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
9.
Remove from the oven, brush the bacon with maple syrup, and let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
10.
Slice the pork loin and serve. Enjoy!
