How To Cook Bacon In The Oven

This recipe explains how to bake bacon slices seasoned simply with cayenne pepper and fresh rosemary for added flavor. Cooking bacon in the oven ensures even crisping and easier cleanup compared to stovetop frying. The approach results in bacon with crisp edges and a smoky-herbal note from the rosemary.

Description

To make oven-baked bacon with a slight spicy and herbal touch, slices of bacon are arranged evenly on a parchment-lined baking tray. They are seasoned lightly with cayenne pepper and chopped fresh rosemary before baking. The oven is preheated to 400°F, and the bacon cooks for 10 to 15 minutes until browned and crispy. This method allows for uniform cooking and a hands-off approach compared to pan frying.

The cayenne pepper adds a subtle heat, while the rosemary contributes a fresh, aromatic quality that enhances the bacon's flavor without overpowering it. The result is bacon with a crisp texture and an added dimension of seasoning.

This bacon can be served as part of breakfast or used in sandwiches and salads. Placing the cooked bacon on a cooling rack helps maintain crispness by letting excess fat drain away.
