Servings: 12 strips of bacon
Calories: 90kcal
Ingredients
- 1 package (12 ounces) thick-cut bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Place the strips of bacon in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, making sure the slices do not overlap.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. (Baking time is dependant on the thickness of the bacon and your desired level of crispiness.)For chewy bacon: Remove it from the oven when the edges of the strip of bacon start to brown. For crispier bacon: Wait until the entire strip of bacon is browned. Every brand of bacon is different. Depending on the thickness and the amount of fat on the slice, some can take up to 30 minutes to crisp fully. Watch the bacon carefully.
- Remove the bacon from the oven. Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Serve immediately.
