Arrange the Bacon
Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Ensure that the slices do not overlap to allow for even cooking.

Bake the Bacon
Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and browned to your liking. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent burning.
