Ingredients
- 12 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Place an oven-safe wire rack on top of the prepared baking sheet to allow the bacon to cook evenly and the grease to drip away.
Step 3
Arrange the turkey bacon slices in a single layer across the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
Step 4
Lightly spray the turkey bacon with olive oil spray to aid in crisping them up.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 6
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the slices of turkey bacon for added flavor.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the bacon for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the turkey bacon and your desired level of crispiness.
Step 8
After 15 minutes, check the bacon for doneness. For extra crispy bacon, leave it in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it rest on the wire rack for a few minutes to further crisp up.
Step 10
Serve immediately as part of a heart-healthy breakfast or brunch.
