  • 16 slices thick-cut bacon

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Arrange Bacon: Lay the thick-cut bacon slices in a single layer without overlapping. This ensures each strip crisps up perfectly.
  3. Bake: Slide the tray into the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes. For extra-crispy edges, leave in up to 20 minutes—just keep an eye on it!
  4. Drain & Serve: Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel–lined plate to absorb excess grease. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
