Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Place an oven-safe wire rack on top of the prepared baking sheet to allow the bacon to cook evenly and the grease to drip away.
Arrange the turkey bacon slices in a single layer across the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
Lightly spray the turkey bacon with olive oil spray to aid in crisping them up.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the slices of turkey bacon for added flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the bacon for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the turkey bacon and your desired level of crispiness.
After 15 minutes, check the bacon for doneness. For extra crispy bacon, leave it in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the bacon from the oven and let it rest on the wire rack for a few minutes to further crisp up.
Serve immediately as part of a heart-healthy breakfast or brunch.
