Crispy bacon is a classic favorite that adds the perfect crunch to any dish. Whether it’s served with eggs for breakfast, piled into a BLT sandwich, or crumbled over a salad, crispy bacon never fails to impress. But getting that perfect crunch without burning or making it greasy can be tricky. The solution? The oven!
To make crispy bacon, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature ensures the bacon cooks evenly, getting crispy without burning. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. For extra crispiness and to reduce the fat, place a metal cooling rack on top of the baking sheet so the bacon cooks evenly on both sides.
