How To Cook Bacon In The Oven
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.
