Normal bacon is out. You can get bacon without nitrites/nitrates. Watch out for hidden nitrates/nitrites though, for example "celery juice". Celery picks up lots of nitrites/nitrates from the fertilizer it is given. Depending on what you like about bacon, you might prefer thin salted slices of pork, which might be called "bacon" or not depending on your supplier. You can cook bacon without burning it. I happen to think it tastes much better baked at low temperature, without browning it. The best choice is probably a pressure cooker, and steaming would be quite good too.
