How to Make Bacon in the Oven - Simply Jocelyn

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while pork belly is often cheaper than premium bacon.

Preheat the oven to broil.

Line a cookie tray with tin foil for easier cleanup.

Place wire racks for cooling cookies inside the lined tray and spray them with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Lay out the bacon on the wire racks, adjusting as necessary to fit all pieces, even if it means wrinkling them.

Put the tray in the oven on the second highest rack with the broiler set to high.

Check the bacon after about 3 minutes, turning it around to ensure even cooking due to potential hot spots from the broiler.

Lower the broiler setting to low and continue cooking until the bacon is crispy to your liking.

Once done, carefully remove the bacon and place it upside down on a lined platter to let excess fat drain into the tray below.

If saving bacon fat, carefully tilt the tray to pour it into a jar, being cautious not to burn yourself. If not saving, allow the fat to cool on the foil for easy disposal.
