The easiest way to bake bacon in the oven! Learn how to get perfectly crispy slices every time with less mess, whether you’re cooking a small batch or feeding a crowd.
Prep. Preheat oven to 400°F. Let the oven sit at 400°F for 10 minutes.
Prepare the baking sheets. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. For crispier bacon, place an oven safe baking rack on top of the parchment paper.
Bake. Arrange the bacon slices over the rack in a single layer and bake until the bacon is crisped to your liking, about 15 minutes for regular cut bacon and 22-24 minutes for thick-cut bacon.
