The only thing better than bacon is oven roasted bacon. Why? Because you get all the bacon without battling the fire breathing dragon that is a stove top pan of bacon grease.
Bonus round: using a rack drains excess fat away, resulting in super crispy bacon that’s not chewy or rubbery. Real bacon is a treat, not a daily ingredient, so let’s do it right.

- Remove from oven and transfer bacon to a large plate lined with paper towel to finish draining.
