Ingredients
  

  • 12 slices bacon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F (205C) and line a baking sheet or cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil (preferred for easier cleanup). Use enough so the foil or parchment goes up the sides of the pan for easy cleanup later.
  • Arrange bacon in a single even layer on the prepared pan. Do not overlap the bacon.
  • Transfer pan to 400F (205C) preheated oven and bake on the center rack for 15-20 minutes (this is for classic-cut bacon, thick-cut bacon will likely take longer), flipping the bacon halfway through (see note).
  • Cool for several minutes and then carefully transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Enjoy!
