Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will help achieve crispy bacon.
- 2
Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. If you have a wire rack, place it on top of the baking sheet. This allows the fat to drain away from the bacon.
- 3
Arrange the Bacon
Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the baking sheet or wire rack. Make sure the strips do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Cooking
- 4
Season the Bacon (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle black pepper, brown sugar, or drizzle maple syrup on the bacon strips for added flavor.
- 5
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Check halfway through and flip the bacon if necessary for even cooking.
- 6
Drain the Bacon
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
Serving
- 7
Serve the Bacon
Serve the bacon warm, either as a side dish for breakfast, in a sandwich, or as a topping for salads and burgers.
