Step-By-Step Instructions
In this section, we are going to show you everything you need to know about making a delicious batch of spicy paleo maple bacon crackers.
1. Get Your Oven Preheated
The first thing you need to do is preheat your oven. It should be at 250 degrees Fahrenheit (ca. 121 degree Celsius) before you put anything in the oven.
2. Get Your Crackers Ready
You need to prepare your crackers for baking. For starters, you should arrange your crackers on a flat roasting rack located just above the baking sheet.
3. Place The Bacon On The Crackers
Your bacon should be cut up into little pieces and fit nicely on your crackers. In fact, they should be a little bigger than the crackers.
Simply place each of your pieces of bacon on a cracker, making sure that they do not overlap too much.
4. Season Your Crackers
It is not up to you to add a seasoning of choice to your crackers. We recommend that you start with maple syrup or brown sugar.
Regardless of which one you choose, distribute it evenly across the bacon before you sprinkle some sweet BBQ rub or chili flakes on top.
5. Allow Your Crackers And Bacon To Cook
Place your flat roasting rack from the baking sheet to the smoker. Make sure that the smoker lid is closed before you leave.
Now you need to allow your bacon crackers to smoke for about ninety minutes. Feel free to check your bacon crackers at the sixty-minute mark.
In essence, you are looking for your bacon fat to be rendered and the brown sugar or maple syrup to be entirely dissolved into the meat.
You can cook the bacon for longer or shorter, depending on what you prefer your bacon to be cooked to. For example, we prefer delicious little crispy pieces of bacon.
6. Allow The Bacon Crackers To Cool And Eat Up
Your delicious paleo maple bacon crackers should be done and ready to eat. Just allow them to cool completely before you eat them.
You can eat them on their own or with toppings of your choice, we love them with a little sprinkling of fresh chilies. It adds just a little zing to this delicious snack.

Hi, my name is Justin Roberts and I like to live by one major rule in life – health is wealth. And where does all health stem from? The food choices we make.
I grew up in a not-so-wealthy household that often struggled to get food on the table.
The food we did eat was cheap, holding no nutritional value at all. I’m talking frozen foods, carbs, fats, and very little fresh produce.
I am fortunate enough to have made a life for myself where the money for food is no longer an issue, and I have spent the majority of it looking into healthy foods and different diets to try.
The most notable is keto and paleo. I am also interested in only using whole foods wherever possible – call it trauma!
As a professional chef, I now create recipes surrounding these diets every day. My family are my tasters, and I strive to make my recipes as budget-friendly as possible.
I hope that you’ll find some inspiration for healthier meals from my website. I want to create a catalog of recipes that you can come back to time and time again. Enjoy!
