Easy Oven-Baked Bacon Guide

Equipment Needed

• Large baking sheet
• Parchment paper or aluminum foil
• Wire rack (optional)

How to Bake Bacon in the Oven

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature works well for achieving crispy bacon without burning it.

Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.

For extra crispy bacon, place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and arrange the bacon on the rack. This allows hot air to circulate around the bacon while the grease drips below.
