How to Bake Bacon

Baking bacon is a quick and easy way to cook it, and it also results in crispy and evenly cooked bacon. Here are the steps for baking bacon:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).

2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. This will make cleanup easier.

3. Place the bacon on the lined baking sheet. You can use a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet to elevate the bacon and allow the grease to drip down.

4. Bake the bacon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you like it.

5. Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.

6. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

- If your bacon is particularly thick, you may need to bake it for a few minutes longer. - Keep an eye on the bacon as it cooks to make sure it doesn't burn. - You can also season the bacon with black pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper before baking it for extra flavor. - Save the bacon grease in a jar and use it for cooking later!
