How to Make Bacon in the Oven

Categories cooking bacon recipes oven

If you're looking for a simple and mess-free way to cook bacon, using the oven is the perfect solution. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve perfectly crispy bacon every time.

Ingredients

• Bacon strips (thick or thin, as per your preference)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
3. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This allows the fat to drip off the bacon.
4. Arrange the bacon strips in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure they do not overlap.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your bacon.
6. Keep an eye on the bacon during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
7. Once done, remove the bacon from the oven and place it on paper towels to absorb excess grease.

Tips for Perfect Bacon

• For extra flavor, consider sprinkling some black pepper or brown sugar on the bacon before baking.
• To save time, you can cook multiple trays of bacon at once if your oven allows.
