Ingredients
- 4 slices Paleo-friendly bacon
- 3 sheets Paper towels
- 1 medium Plate
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing three sheets of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate to create a base layer for the bacon. This will absorb the excess grease and help achieve that perfect crispy texture.
Step 2
Lay the slices of Paleo-friendly bacon on top of the paper towels in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Place another paper towel over the bacon slices. This additional layer helps to reduce splattering inside the microwave.
Step 4
Set the microwave power to high. Place the plate with bacon in the microwave, and cook for approximately 4 to 6 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage and your preferred level of crispiness.
Step 5
Check the bacon at the 4-minute mark. If it’s not yet crisp enough, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until the desired texture is reached.
Step 6
Once done, carefully remove the plate from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel, as it will be hot.
Step 7
Lift the top paper towel to reveal your perfectly cooked bacon. Allow the bacon to cool for 1-2 minutes, which will also help it crisp up a bit more.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a protein-packed snack, or use it to add flavor and crunch to your favorite Paleo meal.
