Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
Cut the bacon strips in half so that you have 24 short strips.
Wrap one short bacon strip around a fig and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining figs and bacon. Place the figs onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the bacon is cooked and crispy.
Remove from oven and transfer figs to a serving platter. Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping, if desired.
Notes
I usually used dried figs for this recipe, but you can use fresh figs instead if they're in season.
