Ingredients

  • 8 ounces sliced pork bacon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Arrange bacon over parchment or foil in single layer. 
  • Transfer to oven and cook 20 to 22 minutes for traditional or center cut bacon, or 23 to 25 minutes for thick cut bacon, or until bacon reaches your desired level of crispness. Use tongs to transfer bacon to paper-towel lined plate to blot excess grease, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Home Chef Tip: Don't have time to preheat the oven? You don't have to! Place bacon in cold oven, then turn oven on to 375 degrees F. Increase cooking time to 26 to 30 minutes or until bacon reaches your desired level of crispness.
