Ingredients
- 12 slices bacon strips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper to catch the grease for easier cleanup.
Step 3
Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet, if available, to ensure even cooking. Alternatively, you can place the bacon directly on the foil/parchment paper if you don’t have a rack.
Step 4
Lay the bacon slices out in a single layer on the rack or sheet, making sure not to overlap the slices to promote even cooking.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the preheated oven.
Step 6
Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bacon and your desired level of crispness. Begin checking the bacon around the 15-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
Step 7
Once the bacon is golden and crisp, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Step 8
Using tongs, transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Step 9
Allow the bacon to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Once the pan has cooled, discard or save the bacon grease as desired, and dispose of the foil for easy cleanup.
