Step by Step Directions to Cook Bacon In The Oven
Grab your bacon. You can cook as many slices as you want, as long as it fits on the baking sheet. Just make sure it’s not frozen.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. This will allow for easy cleanup. Place bacon on the aluminum foil, next to each other. It’s ok if they are very close to each other as they will get a little smaller as they bake. Place in the COLD oven. That’s right. Don’t turn the oven on yet! Close the door to the oven and then heat to 425 degrees F. Bake for around 15 minutes, or until crispy. Depending on the thickness of the bacon, you might need to adjust the time a little bit. Remove from oven and serve as usual. Cleanup tip: Allow the grease to cool on the aluminum foil and then simply roll the foil up and throw away. High fives for easy cleanup!
