When it comes to effortless cooking, baked bacon is the ultimate carnivore diet breakfast recipe. Say goodbye to greasy stovetops and unevenly cooked strips—this oven-baked method ensures perfectly crisp or chewy bacon every time.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to catch the grease and ensure easy cleanup.
Arrange the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. There's no need to wait for the oven to preheat; just place the bacon in as soon as it's ready.
Bake the bacon for 20 to 25 minutes, adjusting the time based on the thickness of the bacon and your desired doneness—longer for thicker slices or crispier results.
Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
Carefully pour the rendered grease into a ramekin or jar for storage and future use in cooking.
