Ingredients

  • 12 strips of bacon your favorite brand
  • parchment paper
  • baking sheet

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
  • Lay the bacon on top of the parchment paper, as best you can without the strips touching each other. The less overlap, the more crisp & crunch.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is really crispy.
  • Use a pair of tongs to remove the bacon from the tray and drain on paper towels immediately (so it stays crispy!) and serve.

Notes

  • Don't let the bacon overlap on the tray and use a second tray if needed. If the bacon overlaps, it won't be as crispy and crunchy.
  • Draining the bacon on paper towels helps it stay good and crispy.
  • It's as easy to make 20 strips of bacon as it is 8, assuming you have enough room in your oven for more than one sheet pan.
