Recipe Ingredients
- 8–12 slices bacon
- Parchment paper or aluminium foil
How To Make Oven Cooked Bacon
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Prepare the baking tray: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Arrange the bacon: Lay the bacon strips flat on the sheet, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
- Drain: Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately, or use in your favorite dishes!
Recipe Tips
- Use a rimmed baking sheet: This prevents bacon grease from spilling into the oven and making a mess.
- Line with parchment or foil: Makes cleanup easy and stops bacon from sticking.
- Don’t overlap the bacon: Keep slices in a single layer for even crisping.
- Check at 15 minutes: Cooking time varies, so watch closely to avoid burning.
- Drain on paper towels: This removes excess grease for extra crispy bacon.
How To Store and Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover bacon cool to room temperature. Then, place it in an airtight container or wrap it in foil and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: After cooling, lay the bacon slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag, removing excess air. Store for up to 1 month. To use, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheat: Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
