Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will ensure that the bacon cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
- 2
Line the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. This will help with cleanup and prevent the bacon from sticking.
- 3
Arrange the Bacon
Place the thick-cut bacon strips on the lined baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the strips do not overlap.
Cooking
- 4
Season the Bacon (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle black pepper, drizzle maple syrup, or sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon strips for added flavor.
- 5
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on the bacon towards the end to prevent burning, as cooking times may vary based on thickness.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once the bacon is cooked to your desired crispiness, remove it from the oven and transfer the strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease. Serve immediately.
