Baked Bacon Oven Fried Bacon Recipes

OVEN-BAKED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place bacon slices one next to the other on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Flip bacon slices with kitchen tongs and return to oven. Bake until crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more. Thinner slices will need less time, about 20 minutes total. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

CRISPY OVEN-BAKED BACON

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bacon on sheet and place in a cold oven.
• Set the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and cook bacon until crispy, 25 to 30 minutes.

OVEN FRIED BACON

Steps:

• 1. Lay bacon flat on a foil lined baking sheet. Make sure to use a baking sheet with sides so you don't drip bacon fat all over your oven! Place bacon into a cold oven and set to 375 degrees. Bake for about 20 to 30 minutes, checking periodically in the last 10 minutes. (I take mine out when the edges start to char a bit because I like super crispy bacon!) Remove bacon from oven and place on paper towels. Enjoy

OVEN FRIED BACON - NO MESS, NO CLEANUP!

Steps:

• Use a 4 sided pan like a jelly roll pan.
• Line pan with tinfoil.
• Fold parchment paper to fit over tinfoil in pan. Must use parchment paper & line the pan for easy cleanup, important step!
• Set oven to 400*.
• After lining pan lay strips of bacon on parchment paper.
• Put in preheated 400* for 15 minutes, I turn bacon over after 10 minutes.
• Take out when crispy & lay on paper towels.
• When pan cools roll up tinfoil & parchment paper & throw away, no pan to wash!

BAKED BACON (OVEN FRIED BACON)

Steps:

• Oil not needed, only for a second ingredient so it would post.
• Arrange slices in rows, across pans with fat edges slightly overlapping lean edges.
• Bake 375 degrees without turning 20-25 minutes (depending on thickness) until bacon is slightly crisp.
• I have been draining the grease and flipping the bacon, then back in the oven for 5 minutes or so.
• Watch closely.
• DO NOT OVERCOOK.
• Drain or skim off excess fat at needed.
• Drain thoroughly on paper towels.
• For those with a convection oven use 325 degrees 20-25 minutes.
• The longer you bake after 20 minutes the greater the risk of producing a dry, burnt piece of bacon.

THICK-CUT BACON IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top. Position bacon strips on the baking rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.

PERFECT BAKED BACON

Steps:

• Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. Coat lightly with oil spray.
• Lay out bacon in a single layer. Put in a cold oven.
• Turn on to 400°F; Set timer for 17 minutes.
• When the 17 minutes is up, check every 1-2 minutes until done. It will look slightly undercooked in the oven. Take it out now & it will be perfect - crispy but not hard.
• variations:.
• 1. sprinkle with brown sugar before baking.
• 2. sprinkle with black pepper before baking.
• 3. lightly coat with jerk seasoning before baking.

"FRIED" BACON IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• To avoid grease splatters on the top of your stove or having to wash an extra splatter screen, simply put bacon in a cast iron skillet with the lid on in a preheated 450* oven for about 15 minutes.
• Remove the skillet, drain the bacon, and the oven stays clean and so does the top of your stove.
• Enjoy now and/or you can crumble up the leftover bacon to use in omelets or other recipes for later.
• Simply put them in a freezer bag and use later.
• It's especially efficient when you've already heated the oven for another dish.
