Ingredients
- 12 slices bacon, thin or thick cut
Directions
-
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the bacon slices on a rimmed baking sheet lined with tin foil. Roast until the fat begins to render, 5 minutes, then rotate pan front to back. Continue roasting until the bacon is crisp and browned, 5-6 minutes for thin-cut bacon and 8-10 minutes for thick-cut (less time altogether if freezing for later, see tip above). Transfer with tongs to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
Mmm crispy bacon is the best!
This works even better if you have a cooling rack set on the baking sheet, then the grease drops to the bottom and they cook up really nicely!
Made bacon in the oven for the first time recently. Turned out great! I was a little leary of this method. I was picturing having bacon spattered all over the oven. Miraculously, it doesn’t! On top the stove it is always messy, even when I keep the heat down. Plus, you can make more at one time. I would still watch it closely though. Times are approximate, depending on the thickness of the bacon.
Awesome! Since there’s no direct heat it won’t splatter the grease as much as the stovetop. Glad you liked this method 🙂
