What’s So Special About This Bacon Hack?
You know that golden, just-crisp-enough bacon that restaurants somehow always get right? That’s exactly what we’re making at home—with tools you already have.
This is my go-to method when I’m hosting brunch or just want zero fuss. It cooks evenly and stays flat—no curling or shriveling.
🔧 Steps:
- Preheat the Oven
400°F (200°C) is the sweet spot. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup. - Set Up the Rack (Optional but ideal)
Place a wire rack on the baking sheet. This helps fat drip away, resulting in extra crispy bacon. - Lay Out the Strips
Arrange bacon in a single layer with a bit of space between each strip—no overlapping! - Bake
15–20 minutes, depending on your bacon’s thickness and your preferred crisp level.
Pro tip: Start checking at 15 minutes—crispy can turn to burnt real quick! - Drain & Serve
Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Serve hot!
