How to Cook Bacon in the Oven

I always cook bacon in the oven! You just need to plan a bit ahead as the bacon takes longer. With baking, the bacon grease stays nice and clean and you can reuse it to saut? vegetables or eggs for extra flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package bacon

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2
Place bacon slices, one next to the other, on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 4
Remove from the oven to flip bacon slices with kitchen tongs and then return to the oven.

Step 5
Bake until crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more. Thinner slices will need less time, about 20 minutes total. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 6
Enjoy!

Cook’s Notes:

If you are making a lot of bacon, the bacon slices can slightly overlap, as the bacon will shrink when baking.
