How To Cook: Bacon in the Oven

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

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

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Optionally, place aluminum foil under the parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Place the bacon on the pan in a single layer, ensuring not to overlap the pieces.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 to 20 minutes, or until your desired doneness is reached. Note that cook time can vary based on the bacon brand, thickness of the pan, and your oven.

Keep an eye on the bacon, especially if it's your first time cooking it.

When happy with the doneness, remove the bacon from the oven and place it on a plate lined with paper towels.

Use another paper towel to remove excess grease from the bacon.
