Oven Baked Bacon
Description
The recipe starts by preheating the oven and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, then arranging bacon slices in a single layer. Baking at 400°F for 15-20 minutes allows the bacon fat to render slowly, evenly crisping the meat without burning. Timing can be adjusted depending on thickness and desired doneness, from tender to very crispy.
Baking bacon this way avoids the splatter mess of stovetop frying and produces uniform cooking. Patting excess grease with a paper towel removes extra fat, improving texture and presentation. The absence of a rack simplifies cleanup and prevents bacon from sticking to metal.
Bacon prepared this way can be served alongside breakfast dishes, salads, or sandwiches. The texture and flavor are easy to control by modifying bake times without turning slices during cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Bacon about 16 slices of thick sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay the bacon flat in a single layer on the parchment paper.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. You may need more or less time depending on the thickness of your bacon and your desired crispiness).
- Remove them from the oven and blot them with a paper towel to remove the excess grease.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You do not need a rack to bake bacon; placing it directly on parchment still produces crispy results with less cleanup.
- Bacon may stick to a rack sometimes, so baking without one minimizes frustration.
