Oven Fried Bacon Recipes

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.

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!

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.

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 DEEP FRIED BACON

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl until smooth. Separate the bacon strips, and soak in the milk mixture for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Remove the bacon from the egg mixture, and toss with the flour to coat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Fry the bacon strips 3 to 5 slices at a time until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Once all of the bacon has cooked, place onto the prepared baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven until crispy, about 7 minutes.

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.

FRIED BACON

Steps:

• Heat a cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat. When hot, add bacon strips in a single layer. Cook until browned on bottom, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Flip bacon, using tongs, and cook until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes.
• Drain and reserve fat for another use, and repeat with remaining bacon. Drain bacon on paper towels. Serve immediately.
