Directions

  1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.

  3. Roast until the fat begins to render, about 5 minutes. Rotate the pan front to back.
  4. Continue to roast until the bacon is crispy; an additional 5 to 6 minutes for thin-cut bacon or 8 to 10 minutes for thick cut bacon.
  5. Drain on a paper towel lined plate, then serve.
