Cooking bacon in the oven is one of the easiest (and cleanest) ways to get it perfectly crispy 🔥
🥓 How to Cook Bacon in the Oven
1. Preheat
- Set your oven to 200°C (400°F)
2. Prepare the tray
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper (easy cleanup!)
- Optional: place a wire rack on top so the bacon cooks evenly
3. Arrange bacon
- Lay strips in a single layer (don’t overlap)
4. Bake
- Put the tray in the oven and cook for:
- 10–15 minutes = softer bacon
- 15–20 minutes = crispy bacon
5. Drain
- Remove and place bacon on paper towels to absorb extra grease
💡 Tips
- No need to flip the bacon
- Start with a cold oven if you want slightly more even cooking (optional trick)
- Keep an eye on it near the end—it can go from perfect to burnt fast!
🍯 Optional Flavor Ideas
- Sprinkle a little brown sugar + black pepper for sweet & spicy
- Add a light brush of maple syrup before baking
If you want, I can show you how to make crispy bacon like restaurants or even bacon for burgers like Burger King style 😄
