Cooking Basics: Learn how to cook bacon in the oven AND how to take it to a whole new level of awesomeness!
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon 2 to 3 per person
- 1 tsp Brown sugar per slice optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F/205 C with the main rack in the middle position.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, a silicone baking mat, or aluminum foil.
- Arrange the bacon strips flat on the pan with a little space in between.
- Sprinkle on some brown sugar if desired, optional. It is really yummy, try it at least on one slice to see how you like it.
- Cook bacon in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, depending on the thickness and desired crispiness. If the bacon is really thin it may only take 12 to 14 minutes.
- Remove the pan of bacon and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then transfer to a paper towel to try. Pat the top dry with a paper towel. Be careful with the brown sugar bacon. Don't leave it on the paper towel and be gentle when patting it, the paper towel will probably stick to it.
- Serve that bacon with whatever meal you like. Enjoy!
