Baked bacon is a savory and crisp breakfast staple made from cured pork belly slices that are seasoned and slow-cooked in the oven until golden brown. Originating from traditional Western cuisine, bacon has long been cherished for its rich, smoky flavor and versatility in meals. Baking this classic food allows for an even cook and helps reduce excess grease compared to pan-frying, as the fat renders off during cooking. While baked bacon is a good source of protein and essential B vitamins like B12, it’s high in saturated fats and sodium, which should be considered when incorporating it into a balanced diet. Pairing baked bacon with nutrient-dense foods like leafy greens or whole grains can help create a more complete and health-conscious meal.
