Main Ingredients

  • 12 slices bacon preferably thick-cut

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange a wire rack inside a large baking sheet.
  • Lay bacon slices on the rack in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispness.
  • Carefully remove the bacon from the oven and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease. Serve hot.

Notes

For a sweeter, candied version, sprinkle brown sugar on the bacon slices before baking.
