This recipe offers a simple and effective way to prepare perfectly crispy bacon using your oven.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Ensure the slices do not overlap for even cooking.
Optionally, sprinkle the bacon with freshly ground black pepper.
Adding seasoning enhances the flavor profile.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, checking for your desired level of crispiness.
Keep an eye on the bacon during the last few minutes to avoid overcooking.
Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Draining helps achieve a less greasy texture.
Serve the bacon warm and enjoy.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
