Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Bacon strips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil to catch the grease, making cleanup easier.
Place a wire cooling rack on top of the lined baking sheet. This will allow the bacon to cook evenly and become crisp.
Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the oven on the middle rack.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking the bacon at the 10-minute mark to monitor doneness. Adjust cooking time as needed for your preferred level of crispiness.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bacon cool for about 2-3 minutes. The bacon will continue to crisp slightly as it cools.
Using tongs, transfer the bacon strips to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
