Ingredients
- 12 slices Bacon or as many strips and thickness you like
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
- Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overlap the strips, as this prevents them from crisping evenly.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. Thin-cut bacon may cook faster, while thick-cut bacon may need an additional 5 to 8 minutes.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Transfer the oven-baked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. The bacon will continue to crisp slightly as it cools.
