Oven Bacon

If you haven’t made bacon in the oven then you aren’t living! haha. But seriously. It turns out absolutely fantastic, still frys in its own fat (very important) and the clean up is ten times easier! I haven’t ever posted this recipe because, well, it’s not really a recipe! But every time I make it on my Instagram stories, I get so many DMs asking me “hey, what temp and how long for the oven bacon again?” So I thought, I guess it needs its own place on the blog! For the record, I know I am certainly *not* the inventor of oven bacon. I am not sure where my lovely Mother-in-law got her original method from (and she can’t remember either) but it works like a charm.

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Line up bacon in a single layer, without overlapping.

Step 2

Place bacon in an un-preheated, COLD oven. Once your bacon is in the oven set your oven to 375 degrees F. Cook bacon until it is cooked to desired doneness, *20 to 30 minutes. The time starts right when you place it in the oven (not after it's preheated) and no need to flip!

Step 3

(*Cook time depends on how thick your bacon is. Mine is typically perfectly cooked at 30 minutes on the dot, but with thinner bacon I pull it around 25 minutes).

Step 4

Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess fat. Enjoy!
