Cooking bacon in a cold oven is a simple yet effective method that yields perfectly crispy bacon without the mess of frying. This technique is not only easy to execute, but it also allows the bacon to render its fat slowly, resulting in a deliciously crispy texture that is hard to resist.
Ingredients
Scale:
12 to 16 strips of thick-cut bacon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the rack.
Bake the bacon for 15 to 20 minutes, checking halfway through for even cooking.
Carefully remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
