Perfect Oven-Baked Pastured Bacon

The easiest, least-messy way to cook pastured bacon crisp and even — right in the oven.

Ingredients

1
Preheat oven to 400F and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment or foil.
2
Lay the bacon slices in a single layer without overlapping.
3
Bake for 15-20 minutes, until deep golden and as crisp as you like.
4
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain, and save the rendered fat for cooking.

Farm tip: Start pastured bacon in a cold oven for extra-even cooking, and pour off the flavorful fat to fry eggs or potatoes.

Serving suggestion: Serve with eggs and toast, crumble over salads, or add to a BLT.
