Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Paleo-friendly bacon
- 3 sheets Paper towels
- 1 medium Plate
Instructions
Begin by placing three sheets of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate to create a base layer for the bacon. This will absorb the excess grease and help achieve that perfect crispy texture.
Lay the slices of Paleo-friendly bacon on top of the paper towels in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Place another paper towel over the bacon slices. This additional layer helps to reduce splattering inside the microwave.
Set the microwave power to high. Place the plate with bacon in the microwave, and cook for approximately 4 to 6 minutes, depending on your microwave's wattage and your preferred level of crispiness.
Check the bacon at the 4-minute mark. If it’s not yet crisp enough, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until the desired texture is reached.
Once done, carefully remove the plate from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel, as it will be hot.
Lift the top paper towel to reveal your perfectly cooked bacon. Allow the bacon to cool for 1-2 minutes, which will also help it crisp up a bit more.
Serve immediately as a protein-packed snack, or use it to add flavor and crunch to your favorite Paleo meal.
