How To Bake Bacon In the Oven | Nordic Ware

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 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow grease to drain.

Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack.

Sprinkle black pepper evenly over the bacon slices.

If desired, sprinkle brown sugar or drizzle maple syrup over the bacon for sweetness.

Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, about 15-20 minutes.

Check for doneness starting at 15 minutes; the bacon should be golden brown and crispy.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven carefully.

Let the bacon cool on the rack for a few minutes to crisp further.

Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
