This recipe offers a simple and effective way to prepare perfectly crispy bacon in the oven, ensuring even cooking and easy cleanup.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures the bacon cooks evenly from the start.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Ensure the slices do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake the bacon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, checking for your desired level of crispiness.
Keep an eye on the bacon towards the end to prevent overcooking.
Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Blotting the bacon removes extra grease for a cleaner taste.
