How to bake bacon in the oven

Bacon is one of our favorite proteins, but I’ll be honest. I hate to cook bacon. Rather, I used to hate to cook bacon. I hated standing over the pan turning the bacon, babysitting it so it didn’t burn, all the while getting splattered with pops of grease!!

No fun at all.

Then  I saw Ina Garten cook bacon in the oven. I tried it immediately. Now, it’s the only way I cook bacon.

Cooking bacon in the oven so so much easier and clean up is easier!

How to Cook Bacon in the Oven

Easiest Way to Cook Bacon

First, get a roasting pan. Cover it with aluminum foil. You can lay the bacon directly on the foil or you can add a wire rack so that the bacon grease drips through. I’ve cooked it both ways and it’s good either way. (Lining the baking sheet with foil makes clean-up much, much easier!

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Next, lay the bacon in a single layer on the foil.

Cook the bacon for 10 minutes at 425 degrees F. Turn the bacon to the second side and bake another 6 to 7 minutes depending on how crispy you want it.

I have found it’s better and more evenly cooked when you turn it.

Transfer the bacon to a serving tray that you’ve lined with paper towels.

When the pan and drippings have cooled, carefully remove the foil from the pan and throw it away.
