Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz pkg bacon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the racks in the upper third and bottom third positions.
  • Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Lay the slices of bacon flat on the parchment paper, making sure the bacon slices are not touching.
  • Bake the bacon for 10 minutes. Rotate the pans.
  • Bake the bacon for an additional 10 minutes or until it is crisp.
  • If your bacon is thick, it might be necessary to use metal tongs to flip the bacon over on the sheet pans about halfway through cooking time.
  • Watch the bacon closely at the end so as not to burn the bacon.
  • Drain the bacon on a paper towel lined plate before serving.
