Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for super easy cleanup, then place an oven-safe wire rack on top. This setup helps the bacon crisp evenly and prevents it from sitting in its own grease.
Carefully arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack. Try not to let them overlap too much so each piece gets perfectly crispy!
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven on the middle rack. Bake for about 18-23 minutes for regular-cut bacon. If you're using thin slices, aim for 15-19 minutes, and for thick-cut, it might take 22-26 minutes. Keep an eye on it and cook until it reaches your desired crispiness.
Once done, use tongs to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Gently pat the top with more paper towels to soak up any extra grease. Let it cool for a few minutes – it gets even crisper as it cools! Enjoy your perfectly baked, less messy bacon.
