Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Gather Ingredients

    Collect all the ingredients needed for cooking bacon, including the optional seasoning if desired.

  2. 2

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet if available.

  2. 4

    Arrange Bacon

    Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the wire rack or directly on the foil-lined baking sheet. Ensure the strips do not overlap.

  3. 5

    Season Bacon (Optional)

    Sprinkle black pepper, brown sugar, or drizzle maple syrup over the bacon strips according to your taste preferences.

  4. 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. Check for doneness at the 15-minute mark.

  5. 7

    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 hot.
