Learn how to bake bacon in the oven in this easy tutorial.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Completely cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place the bacon as close together as possible. Try not to overlap too much.
- Cook at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, and then flip and (if necessary) cook in 5-minute increments until it is almost exactly how you want it. It will continue to crisp up a bit after you take it out of the oven.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels. Layer bacon and paper towels on the plate until all the bacon is covered.
Notes
Works great with turkey bacon, but I reduce that initial cook time to 15 minutes before flipping.
Store in the freezer for up to 3 months or 1 week in the fridge.
Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds for a fast breakfast
