How to Make Baked Bacon Oven Fried Bacon

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) (or 325°F (160°C) for convection ovens).
  2. Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on large baking sheets, with the fat edges slightly overlapping the lean edges. Avoid overcrowding.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is slightly crisp. Watch carefully!
  4. If desired, for extra crispy bacon, drain off some of the rendered fat halfway through, flip the bacon, and bake for another 5 minutes.
  5. Monitor closely to prevent burning. Bacon cook times vary depending on thickness and oven.
  6. Remove bacon from oven and drain thoroughly on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly cooked bacon!
