- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Lay the bacon strips flat in the skillet without overlapping.
- Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, flipping occasionally, until crispy and golden.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
3. Air-Fried Bacon (Fast and Easy):
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the bacon strips in the basket in a single layer (you may need to work in batches).
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
- Remove and let drain on paper towels.
Tips for Perfect Bacon:
- For Less Grease: Use a wire rack in the oven method to allow the fat to drip off.
- Seasoning Options: Add a sprinkle of black pepper, brown sugar, or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store cooked bacon in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
