Oven Cooked Bacon
This method for cooking bacon in the oven is the best because it produces perfectly crisp bacon every time, requires little monitoring, and cleaning up is a breeze.
Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and place a baking rack on top of the foil. Align your bacon strips across the top of the baking rack and place the rack in a COLD oven (don’t preheat).
- Set your temperature to 380 degrees and allow the bacon to cook for about 20-30 minutes. (Note - times will vary based on how thick your bacon is and how crispy you prefer it so keep an eye out and start checking it around the 20-minute mark.)
- Once the bacon is crisp, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
- If you want to save the bacon fat, allow it to cool slightly, then carefully (REALLY Carefully - it will still be HOT!) pour the liquid fat into a small dish, cover, and place in the fridge. Alternatively, if you’d rather not risk singing your arm hair off, you can let the bacon fat cool completely until it is solid and then spoon it into a dish, cover, and store in the fridge.
