Ingredients

8 slices thick-cut bacon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, then place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

Step 3

Arrange the slices of thick-cut bacon on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure not to overlap them for even cooking.

Optionally, pat the slices with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture and ensure even crispiness.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet with the rack in the preheated oven on the middle rack.

Step 6

Bake for 15 minutes, then start checking the bacon slices. Continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until the bacon reaches the desired level of crispiness.

Step 7

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven using oven mitts.

Step 8

Allow the bacon to cool for a few minutes on the rack to let it crisp up further.

Step 9

Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any extra fat.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciously crispy low-fat bacon!
