There is nothing quite like the smell of bacon in the morning, but standing over a hot stove can be such a chore. Making bacon in the oven is my favorite way to get consistent results for the whole family without all the mess.

You can cook a whole package at once, which makes it perfect for busy mornings or meal prep for the week ahead. Just line your pan with foil to make your cleanup a breeze.

🧺 Ingredients

  • 1 package of your favorite sliced bacon
  • Aluminum foil or parchment paper

👩‍🍳Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  3. 3

    Lay the bacon strips flat on the baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap too much.

  4. 4

    Bake for 15 to 20 minutes depending on how crispy you like your bacon.

  5. 5

    Remove the pan from the oven and carefully transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease.

  6. 6

    Serve warm and enjoy your perfectly cooked bacon.

💡 Tips

Store leftover bacon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can quickly reheat it in the microwave for 15 seconds or pop it back in the oven to get it crispy again before serving.
