Don't you just want to bite into that crisp piece of salty bacon? I think everyone can agree (except maybe vegetarians) that bacon is one of the best foods on the planet.
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.
