A simple and mess-free method for cooking perfectly crispy bacon in the oven. This technique ensures evenly cooked bacon every time and is a great alternative to pan-frying. You can cook it directly on a baking sheet for a crispier result or on a wire rack for a slightly less greasy finish.

Analyzing cooking steps...
This oven method works well for regular bacon, thick-cut bacon, and turkey bacon, though cooking times will vary.
Cooking bacon directly on parchment paper allows it to cook in its own grease, resulting in a wavier, crispier texture.
Using a wire rack allows the grease to drip away, which results in flatter bacon and is a slightly healthier option, though it may not get quite as crispy.
You can save the rendered bacon grease for cooking later. Let it cool slightly, then strain it into a heatproof jar.
