Without the mess of stovetop cooking, you can have perfectly crispy bacon with this easy recipe for oven-baked bacon. It's a fantastic way to cook bacon in bigger quantities, and the finished product is always flavorful.
Ingredients: 1 pound of bacon strips. Baking sheet. Parchment paper optional.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400F 200C. If using parchment paper, line a baking sheet with it to make cleanup easier. Arrange the bacon strips on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don't overlap. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. Keep an eye on it, as cooking times can vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the bacon. Once done, carefully remove the bacon from the oven. Use tongs or a fork to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Let the bacon cool for a minute or two before serving. It will continue to crisp up as it cools. Enjoy your perfectly crispy oven-baked bacon!
