The method of cooking crispy bacon in the oven with a rimmed baking sheet that is lined with parchment paper is a technique that provides an easy and hands off, mess free consistently crispy result when cooking crispy bacon.
To cook crispy bacon in the oven with baking paper using Martha Stewart's preferred method.
Prep the pan, by lining a rimmed baking sheet with some parchment paper, although aluminum foil also works, but parchment paper is preferred to avoid sticking.
If you want more crispier results, Martha Stewart also suggests that you use a wire rack on top of the lined baking sheet to allow the fat to drip away from the bacon strips.
Next lay the bacon out on the baking sheet and arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet or rack and ensure that they don't overlap.
The place the baking sheet and bacon in a preheated oven at 400 F and bake the bacon for around 15 minutes to 18 minutes, or until the bacon is well browned and crisp.
The exact baking time for your bacon, will depend on the thickness of the bacon.
Once the bacon is done, use tongs to transfer the bacon to a plate that is lined with paper towels, to drain out any excess grease.
And as the bacon cools down, the bacon will get a little bit crispier.
