Method
Preparation
- 1
Choose Your Bacon
Select your preferred type of bacon (streaky, back, or turkey bacon). Ensure it is fresh and has a good amount of fat for optimal flavor.
- 2
Preheat the Oven or Skillet
If cooking in the oven, preheat it to 200°C (400°F). If using a skillet, place it over medium heat.
Cooking
- 3
Arrange the Bacon
Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if using the oven, or in the skillet without overlapping if cooking on the stovetop.
- 4
Add Seasoning (Optional)
Sprinkle black pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar evenly over the bacon for added flavor if desired.
- 5
Cooking in the Oven
Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning the bacon halfway through for even cooking, until it reaches your desired crispiness.
- 6
Cooking on the Stovetop
Cook the bacon for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until crispy, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
