  • thick-cut bacon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet. Lay as many slices of bacon on the paper as you would like. They can be touching, just not overlapping.
  • Place the bacon in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Rotate the pan for even cooking then bake for 10 minutes more. Watch carefully during the last 2 minutes to prevent burning. It's done when dark and crispy.
  • Remove the pan form the oven and set on a cooling rack. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Simply slide the parchment paper into the trash when it has cooled. Clean up is done!

Notes

Thick-cut bacon is best for this technique. You can find it packaged, but you can also get it from the butcher at your local supermarket!
