Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package bacon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Arrange bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Take the bacon out of the oven and carefully flip each slice using kitchen tongs, then return the pan to the oven.
Continue baking until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness, typically 15 to 20 minutes. Thinner slices may cook faster, requiring only about 20 minutes total. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Serve and enjoy your perfectly cooked oven-baked bacon!
