You know that golden, just-crisp-enough bacon that restaurants somehow always get right? That’s exactly what we’re making at home—with tools you already have.This is my go-to method when I’m hosting brunch or just want zero fuss. It cooks evenly and stays flat—no curling or shriveling.
🔧 Steps:
Preheat the Oven
400°F (200°C) is the sweet spot. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
Set Up the Rack (Optional but ideal)
Place a wire rack on the baking sheet. This helps fat drip away, resulting in extra crispy bacon.
Lay Out the Strips
Arrange bacon in a single layer with a bit of space between each strip—no overlapping!
