Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Arrange Bacon Slices: Place bacon in a single layer on a large sheet pan either lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil and a wire rack. Lift up pieces of the bacon to give it a wavy appearance, if you’d prefer.
Bake in Oven: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes. Regular-cut bacon will take 15-20 minutes while thick-cut bacon will take closer to 20-25 minutes.
Drain on Plate: Remove bacon from oven and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Pat dry with additional paper towels to remove excess grease. Enjoy!
