Oven Baked Bacon Food

BACON IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• First all you need to do is take the bacon and lay it down on any of the following, cookie sheet, parchment paper (not wax paper as the wax can melt and/or the paper can catch fire), or aluminum foil. We do this for an easy clean up but if you want just lay down on your baking pan. Then sprinkle the bacon with black pepper.
• Next turn on your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
• Put your bacon in and wait about 15 min to check on it then as soon as the bacon is crispy brown or golden brown take it out and you're done!

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.

MAPLE-ROASTED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and arrange the bacon in 1 layer on the baking rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the bacon begins to brown. Remove the pan carefully from the oven; there will be hot grease in the pan! Brush the bacon slices with maple syrup and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the bacon is a warm golden brown. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and serve warm.

CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put bacon slices in a bowl, season them with pepper and toss with the brown sugar. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or foil and arrange the bacon in a single layer on top. Sprinkle any sugar left in the bowl over the bacon. Top with another layer of parchment or foil and top it, squarely, with another baking sheet. The baking sheet will flatten the bacon as it cooks.
• Place the tray in the center of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check the bacon by lifting the top tray and parchment. If it is not golden brown and fairly crispy, resist the temptation to turn up the oven temperature, and cook it for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Check it again. Keep in mind that when you remove the tray and transfer the bacon to a serving platter or individual plates, the bacon will "crisp" up a little more. Be patient!

ROAST BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay the bacon on a sheet pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the bacon is really crispy. Dry on paper towels and serve.

JOSEPH'S BEST EASY BACON RECIPE

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with 2 sheets of aluminum foil, making sure pan is completely covered.
• Arrange bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet, keeping at least 1/2-inch space between strips. Place pan in the cold oven.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Cook bacon for 14 minutes.
• Transfer cooked bacon to paper towel-lined plates. Let cool for 5 minutes for bacon to crisp.

OVEN BACON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on 2 aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheets, or, for extracrispy bacon, arrange on 2 wire racks set over 2 foil-lined rimmed baking sheets.
• Bake until the bacon is browned and starts to ripple, or to desired doneness, 10 to 20 minutes. (Because the cook time depends on the thickness of the bacon and how you like it cooked, start checking doneness at the 10-minute mark.)
• Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

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.

PERFECT OVEN-COOKED BACON

Steps:

• DO NOT pre-heat the oven.
• You will not be using the 1/4 teaspoon water. I had to add it to the ingredients list because Food.com will not let you upload a recipe that only has one ingredient, so I had to make up a second ingredient.
• Place the bacon in a single layer on a cold, rimmed baking sheet. If you like, you can line the pan with parchment paper to make clean-up easier, but I like to save my bacon grease to cook with, and the parchment makes it difficult to get it all out of the baking sheet, so I just leave the pan unlined.
• Place the pan on the center rack of a cold oven. Set the oven to 400º.
• Cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Very thin bacon will only take about 15 minutes, thick-cut bacon will take 20. After 15 minutes, keep an eye on the bacon to make sure it is not getting too brown.
• Immediately remove the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Blot the top of the bacon with paper towels to remove extra grease.
• If you like, save the bacon grease in a heat-proof container. The grease can be stored in the fridge and used later in other recipes - you just got two products for the price of one :).

OVEN-BAKED BACON

• 3. Put the bacon in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 10 minutes.
• 4. Take the bacon out and flip the slices.
• 5. Place bacon back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes depending on preferred crispness.

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.

BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and onion powder together in a small bowl. Rub 1/2 of the spice mix over chicken breasts.
• Wrap each breast with 2 to 4 slices of bacon, depending on size. Place in a baking dish and sprinkle remaining spice mix over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Serve topped with parsley.

OVEN BAKED BACON AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• On a large rimmed baking sheet coated with non-stick cooking spray, toss potatoes with salt and pepper. Arrange bacon around edges of baking sheet.
• Bake until potatoes are tender and bacon is thoroughly cooked, about 30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes of cooking time, flip bacon using tongs and stir potatoes.
