How to Cook Bacon in the Oven
Learning how to bake bacon in the oven is a game changer. This easy method gives you perfectly crispy strips every time, without grease splatter or standing over the stove.
Ingredients
- 1 pound thick cut bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil. If you prefer crispy bacon, place a wire rack on top of the foil.
- Lay the strips of the bacon in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until bacon has reached desired crispness.
- Line a plate with a paper towel. Then transfer the bacon with tongs to the plate to absorb any extra grease.
Notes
To cook bacon on the stove: Cook bacon low and slow in a cold skillet, turning occasionally until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
