Instructions
0 Line a sheet pan with two layers of parchment paper. (This will help the bacon crisp up, as well as prevent bacon grease from spilling onto your sheet pan.) 1 Place the bacon onto the prepared sheet pan. Give each strip of bacon a little space so it can roast. 2 Place the bacon in the oven on the middle rack. Turn the oven on to 400°F. 3 Bake for 15-18 minutes. Check on the bacon at the 15-minute mark to see how it's doing. (If baking turkey bacon, check at the 10-12 minute mark.) We want it to be crisping up, but not to be totally browned. 4 Remove from the oven, and flip the bacon using a pair of tongs. 5 Place the sheet pan back in the oven, and bake for another 6-10 minutes, or until desired crispness. This will change based on the thickness of the bacon you have. 6 Remove from the oven, and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Blot to remove any excess grease. 7 Drain and cool slightly, then enjoy!View original recipe
