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.
