4. Drain & Serve
Remove from oven and transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Enjoy immediately—or save the bacon grease for cooking (it’s liquid gold for frying eggs or roasting veggies!).
Bonus Tips for the Best Bacon
🔥 Extra Crispy? Bake for 2-3 minutes longer (watch closely to avoid burning).
🍳 Save the Grease! Strain and store in a jar for cooking.
🍞 Air Fryer Option? Yes! Cook at 380°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes (works great for small batches).
🥓 Make-Ahead Bacon – Cook a big batch, store in the fridge, and reheat in the microwave or oven.
Why Oven-Baked Bacon Beats Stovetop Every Time
No babysitting – No constant flipping or grease burns.
Cooks evenly – Every strip comes out perfect.
Great for crowds – Cook an entire pack at once!
Less mess – Just toss the foil when done.
