Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, then place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Arrange the slices of thick-cut bacon on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure not to overlap them for even cooking.
Optionally, pat the slices with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture and ensure even crispiness.
Place the baking sheet with the rack in the preheated oven on the middle rack.
Bake for 15 minutes, then start checking the bacon slices. Continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until the bacon reaches the desired level of crispiness.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven using oven mitts.
Allow the bacon to cool for a few minutes on the rack to let it crisp up further.
Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any extra fat.
Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciously crispy low-fat bacon!
