Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your bacon chips cook evenly and become crispy.

Prepare Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help prevent the bacon from sticking and make for easier cleanup.
- 3
Slice Bacon
Cut the bacon strips into smaller pieces, about 2 inches long. This will help them crisp up nicely and resemble chips.
Cooking

Arrange Bacon on Baking Sheet
Place the bacon pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap to allow for even cooking.

Add Seasoning (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika evenly over the bacon pieces for added flavor.

Bake Bacon Chips
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Drain Excess Fat
Once cooked, remove the bacon chips from the oven and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess fat.

Cool and Serve
Allow the bacon chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a snack or as a topping for salads and other dishes.
