Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon: Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the bacon is crispy and flavorful.
  • Preheat your oven: This will help to ensure that the bacon cooks evenly.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper: This will make it easier to clean up and will also help prevent the bacon from sticking to the pan.
  • Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the baking sheet: Do not overlap the bacon, or it will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the bacon for 12-15 minutes, or until it is crispy: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon.
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels: This will help to remove any excess grease.

Conclusion:

Baking bacon in the oven is a great way to get perfectly crispy, flavorful bacon without having to babysit it on the stovetop. By following these tips, you can make sure that your bacon turns out perfect every time.
