Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole30-compliant bacon
- 3 sheets Paper towels
Instructions
Place a microwave-safe plate on a flat surface.
Layer 2 sheets of paper towels on the microwave-safe plate to absorb excess grease.
Place 4 slices of Whole30-compliant bacon in a single layer on top of the paper towels, ensuring that the slices do not overlap.
Cover the bacon with 1 more sheet of paper towel to prevent splattering and to aid in crisping.
Place the plate in the microwave.
Set the microwave to high power.
Cook the bacon for 4-5 minutes. Start checking for desired doneness at around 4 minutes, as microwave cooking times can vary based on the wattage of your microwave.
Using oven mitts or a towel, carefully remove the plate from the microwave—it will be hot.
Allow the bacon to cool for 1 minute, as it will continue to crisp.
Transfer the bacon to a clean serving plate and enjoy immediately.
