Ingredients

  • 8 oz thick cut bacon

Method

  1. Arrange the bacon on a parchment (or foil) lined baking sheet close together, but not touching.
  2. Set bacon in the oven on the center rack and turn oven to 400°F.
  3. Allow to cook for 20-25 minutes, checking on it after 18 minutes.
  4. Immediately transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel or paper bag lined plate.

Note: Ovens and bacon thickness vary. It is crucial to check on it regularly. If you can smell the bacon, it’s probably close to finished.
