Easy Oven Cooked Bacon
Source: slightly adapted from 365daysofbakingandmore.com
Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with a sheet of foil and then place a piece of parchment on top of that.
Place the bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet closely together in a single layer, making sure to not overlap them.
Place the baking sheet into the oven and turn oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake for 12 - 17 minutes, being sure to check at the 10-minute mark to see how it's doing. The bacon can go from being perfectly done to burnt in a very short time, so it's important to keep your eye on it after that 10 minute mark.
Remove bacon from the oven and place on a plate lined with paper towels before serving.
Notes: Thick cut bacon will take longer to cook. Depending on the thickness, it may take up to 25 minutes.
To clean up, simply fold the foil into the center of each baking sheet, and roll it up into a ball, trapping the grease inside, and throw it away.
