Why Use the Oven?

Baking bacon in the oven:

  • Cooks evenly without flipping

  • Reduces mess (no grease splatters!)

  • Frees up your stovetop

  • Allows you to make large batches at once

Whether you’re prepping brunch for a crowd or just want a calm morning with minimal cleanup, oven-baked bacon is a total game changer.


Ingredients:

  • 8–10 slices thick-cut bacon

(That’s it! No oil or seasoning needed — bacon brings all the flavor.)


Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).

  2. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  3. Lay bacon strips in a single layer. Don’t overlap!

  4. Bake for 18–22 minutes, depending on your crispiness preference.

  5. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.

  6. Let cool slightly and enjoy!


Tips for Success:

  • Use a wire rack if you like extra crispiness (place it over the baking sheet).

  • Don’t walk away after 15 minutes — bacon can go from golden to burnt fast!

  • Save the leftover bacon grease for cooking eggs or roasted veggies later.


How to Serve It:

  • In breakfast sandwiches or wraps

  • Crumbled on top of salads or baked potatoes

  • Alongside pancakes, eggs, or waffles


Final Thoughts

Baking bacon in the oven takes the guesswork (and mess) out of this breakfast classic. It’s easy, consistent, and absolutely delicious — no more babysitting a frying pan. Once you try it this way, you won’t go back!
