Bacon is considered by many a necessity of any breakfast or brunch, but it’s messy and is hard to cook for a crowd while frying it. An easier way to cook it is to bake it. It can also be cooked all at once.
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet or foil roasting pan with foil for easier clean up.
- Place cooling rack on top of foil. It is fine to overlap racks.
Spray racks with nonstick spray (This will make the racks easier to clean) - Place bacon slices on the cooling rack. Be careful not to overlap the slices.
- Place in the oven and heat to 400F.
- Bake for 15 minutes and carefully remove from oven.
- Flip bacon over with tongs or a fork.
- Bake for ten more minutes. It is wise to check every 5 minutes to ensure the bacon isn’t burning. Ovens vary in temperature.
- Remove from oven when done to desired crispness, drain on paper towels.
You can cook on two racks at a time in the oven. Just switch positions at the 15 minute point, top cookie sheet goes on the bottom and vice versa.
