Preparation

Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help achieve a crispy texture.

Line the Baking Sheet
Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This allows the fat to drip down while cooking.

Bake the Bacon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on it, as cooking times may vary based on thickness.
