Easy Oven-Baked Bacon Guide

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Set oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment if desired.
  2. Arrange Bacon
    Lay the strips in a single layer. They can touch but shouldn’t overlap.
  3. Bake
    Place the pan on the center rack and bake until crispy:

    • Regular cut: 15–18 minutes
    • Thick cut: 18–22 minutes
  4. Drain & Serve
    Transfer bacon to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to soak up excess grease. Serve immediately.
