Ingredients
- 10 slices of bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange bacon slices in a single layer - not touching - on top of the parchment.
- Bake for 14 minute for chewy, 16 for crispy, and 18 for extra-crisp/crunchy bacon. *Keep in mind that the bacon will continue to crisp up while cooling.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool for several minutes before serving. Discard excess grease (or save in a jar for use in other recipes). Enjoy!

Notes
- Parchment paper: I prefer to use parchment as it tends to yield crispier bacon, but foil works too.
- Scaling the recipe: this recipe works for as many or as few pieces of bacon as you wish, adding more bacon will not change the cooking time - simply add more bacon slices to your lined baking sheet and be sure that they are not overlapping.
