Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Select the Bacon

    Choose your preferred type of bacon (thick-cut, regular, or turkey bacon).

  2. 2

    Prep the Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top of it.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Position the Bacon

    Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they do not overlap.

  2. 4

    Season (Optional)

    Sprinkle black pepper over the bacon strips if desired. For a sweet touch, brush maple syrup or sprinkle brown sugar on top of the bacon.

  3. 5

    Bake the Bacon

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the bacon for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.

  4. 6

    Drain the Bacon

    Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
