Method
Preparation
- 1
Select Your Bacon
Choose either smoked bacon for a robust flavor or nitrate-free bacon for a healthier option.
- 2
Prepare the Seasoning
In a small bowl, mix black pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar together. This will add a flavorful crust to the bacon.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). This will ensure the bacon cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.

Arrange the Bacon
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lay the bacon strips in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
- 5
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle the prepared seasoning mixture evenly over the bacon strips, adjusting the amount to your taste.
- 6
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. Turn the bacon halfway through cooking for even crispiness.

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