How great is this crispy oven baked bacon going to sound once I tell you that it’s pretty much mess free?

That’s right. There will be no grease splattering across your stove for you to clean up afterwards.
How amazing is that?

Its just one of the reasons that I love this unique method so much.
Not only is this pretty much mess free but it’s also perfect for your busy mornings.

There is no babysitting the stove here and worrying about flipping the bacon.
You just load up the baking sheet, pop it into the oven and let it do its job.

This frees up a bunch of time to do whatever else you need to finish getting breakfast together.
And the bacon looks so pretty, too!
It doesn’t curl up and holds it’s nice long shape very well.

I just love doing it this way so much.
I know if you give it a try that you’ll love it, too.
Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Crispy Oven Baked Bacon Ingredients:

- 1 package of bacon
- 1 large baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Wire rack (optional)
Instructions:
First, preheat your oven to 400°

Then lay parchment paper on top of a large baking sheet.

Now lay the bacon down on top of the parchment paper side by side. Don’t overlap it.

Now, op it in the oven for 13-15 minutes. Check it after 13 and see if you’d like more time. It will cook up fast from there so keep an eye on it.

Let the bacon cool slightly.

Then carefully remove it with a fork

And place it down on either paper towels or a wire rack to drain.

Finally you’re ready to enjoy some crispy baked bacon!

This was such a game changer when I started cooking bacon this way. Being able to cook more bacon at a time was an added bonus!!

I always throw a piece of parchment paper on top of the bacon also - saves your oven from all that grease splatter.
