Step by Step Instructions
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2:
Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the pieces don’t overlap.
Step 3:
Lightly sprinkle brown sugar evenly over each strip of bacon. This is the magic ingredient that creates extra crispiness!
Step 4:
If you like a little extra flavor, sprinkle a touch of black pepper over the top.
Step 5:
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on how thick the bacon is.
Step 6:
Check the bacon halfway through and rotate the pan if needed for even cooking.
Step 7:
Once the bacon is deep golden brown and crispy, remove it from the oven.
Step 8:
Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
