There’s nothing quite like waking up to the smell of perfectly crispy bacon wafting through the house, is there? Whether you’re pairing it with eggs, layering it in a BLT, or just enjoying it as a salty, savory snack, bacon has a way of making every meal feel a little more indulgent. Today, I’m sharing my go-to method for baking bacon that turns out consistently crispy (or chewy, if you’re into that) without the hassle of stovetop splatters. Trust me, this simple method is a game-changer!
Ingredients
- To keep it simple, all you need is:
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for a mess-free cleanup later.
- Lay your bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared sheet. Make sure the pieces don’t overlap—this ensures even cooking.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for15-20 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your bacon. I recommend checking it at the 15-minute mark—bacon can go from perfect to overdone quickly!
- Using tongs, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. This step helps remove extra grease, leaving you with perfectly crispy (but not oily) slices.
- Whether you’re serving it as a side, crumbling it over a salad, or folding it into an omelet, bacon this good is sure to make your day brighter.
