Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for getting the bacon crispy.
- 2
Prepare 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. This will allow the fat to drain off the bacon while it cooks.
- 3
Arrange Bacon
Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack. Ensure that the slices do not overlap to allow even cooking.
Cooking
- 4
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. Check it halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- 5
Optional Seasoning
If you desire, sprinkle black pepper, drizzle maple syrup, or sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon during the last 5 minutes of cooking for added flavor.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Serve hot.
