Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices bacon strips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, making sure the edges are rolled up slightly to contain any grease.
Place a wire rack over the foil-lined baking sheet. This allows air to circulate around the bacon and ensures even cooking.
Lay the bacon slices on the wire rack in a single layer without overlapping.
Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven on the middle rack.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness. Start checking at the 15-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bacon cool on the rack for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining grease, if desired.
Allow the grease on the foil to cool completely before carefully folding and discarding the foil. No mess, no fuss!
