Perfectly crispy, golden bacon is easy to make in the oven! This simple method cooks the bacon evenly and gives you delicious, crunchy strips every time.
Ingredients

- Parchment paper or aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you like it.
