Whether you're a fan of tender, crisp, or extra crispy bacon, this simple method of cooking bacon in the oven is easy. There’s no stove top mess, and it frees up your stove for cooking other breakfast items!

Ingredients
- 12- ounce package center-cut bacon (or bacon of your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Prepare your sheet pan: Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. This will make your clean-up process a breeze. Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the foil. Be sure the pieces do not overlap, so they cook evenly.
- For tender bacon with crisp edges, bake for approximately 20 minutes. This timing should render bacon that is fully cooked but still pliant, with just the right amount of crispy bite at the edges. Of course, all ovens cook different so you may want to keep an eye on it as the time gets close.
- For crisp bacon, extend the cooking time to 22-23 minutes. The extra couple of minutes in the oven will render out more fat and leave you with bacon that is completely crispy, yet not overly so.
- For extra crispy bacon, bake for 25-26 minutes. During this time, the bacon will reach a level of crispiness that's ideal for those who love a hearty crunch with each bite.
- Drain and serve: When the bacon has reached your desired level of doneness, carefully remove the pan from the oven using oven mitts. With tongs, transfer the bacon slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.

Notes
- I've tested this with and without a wire rack and found it worked just as good without and less mess to clean after.
