Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 lb bacon
  • Nonstick spray (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Line the sheet pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil or parchment paper (see next step).
  • Position the rack on the pan and coat it thoroughly with nonstick spray. Note: If you don’t have a rack size that will work for this, use parchment to line the pan and place the bacon on it directly.
  • Arrange the bacon slices side-by-side. It’s okay for them to be close together, but don’t overlap the strips as they can fuse together during cooking.
  • Bake the bacon for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan to ensure even cooking. If you're not using a rack, drain off some of the fat as well so that the bacon strips aren’t submerged in it.
  • Return the bacon to the oven and bake until crisp, 10 to 15 minutes longer depending on the thickness of the slices.
  • Remove the bacon from the oven and drain the strips on several thicknesses of paper towels.
