How to Bake Bacon

Lets be honest - you can’t beat perfectly cooked, crispy bacon as part of a full fry up - especially here in the UK. Here I show you how to bake bacon in the oven with hardly any mess to clean up afterwards.

1. Start by preheating the oven to 200c/400f.
2. Line an oven tray with aluminum foil then lay on the bacon. To make it healthier, place a wire rack on the foil-lined tray and place the bacon on the rack.
3. Put the bacon in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the bacon is as crispy as you like it. The great thing about baking bacon is you don’t need to turn it when cooking.
4. Remove from the oven and if required, place on kitchen towel to absorb some of the grease (this may especially be the case with streaky bacon).
5. Then your perfectly cooked bacon is ready to serve and enjoy.
