Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the slices do not overlap.
Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness. Check at the 15-minute mark to ensure the bacon doesn’t burn.
Once the bacon is crispy and evenly cooked, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Allow the bacon to cool slightly before serving.
