Method
Preparation
- 1
Choosing the Bacon
Select high-quality bacon from your favorite brand. Look for thick-cut bacon for a better texture.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will help to cook the bacon evenly.
Cooking
- 3
Prepare the 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 if you want extra crispy bacon.
- 4
Arrange the Bacon
Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the wire rack or directly on the baking sheet. Make sure the strips do not overlap for even cooking.
- 5
Season the Bacon (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle black pepper, drizzle maple syrup, or sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon strips for added flavor.
- 6
Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. Keep an eye on it in the last few minutes to avoid burning.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it drain on paper towels to remove excess grease. Serve immediately.
