Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will help to cook the bacon evenly and get it crispy.
- 2
Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet if you prefer to allow the fat to drain.
- 3
Arrange the Bacon
Place the bacon strips in a single layer on the baking sheet or wire rack. Make sure the strips do not overlap for even cooking.
- 4
Season the Bacon (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle black pepper over the bacon strips. For a sweet touch, you can also add brown sugar or drizzle maple syrup on top.
Cooking
- 5
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispness. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent burning.
- 6
Drain the Fat
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it rest on paper towels to absorb excess grease.

Serve
Serve the bacon hot as a side dish, in a breakfast sandwich, or atop salads and other dishes as desired.
