1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
For extra crispiness, place a wire rack on top to allow grease to drip away from the bacon.
3. Arrange the Bacon
Lay the bacon slices in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
4. Bake
Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on your desired crispiness.
Check at 12 minutes for thinner slices.
5. Drain and Serve
Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. Serve warm.
