The Ultimate Guide to Crispy Bacon: Perfect Crunch Every Time

To make crispy bacon, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature ensures the bacon cooks evenly, getting crispy without burning. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. For extra crispiness and to reduce the fat, place a metal cooling rack on top of the baking sheet so the bacon cooks evenly on both sides.
