Oven Baked Bacon

Make this your go-to method when you need bacon for a big group and don’t want to bother making multiple batches in a frying pan. Plus, there’s no turning and cleanup is simple.

1: Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and lay out as many bacon strips as will fit snuggly without overlapping.

2: Place in a cold oven. Then heat the oven to 400 degrees F and bake to desired crispness, 25 to 35 minutes.

3: Drain well on a paper-towel-lined platter.
