Line the baking sheet with foil. The foil is not required, but it does make cleanup very simple! Spread the bacon strips out across the sheet and place in a cold oven. I usually slice our bacon in half and a full pound fits on a baking sheet. (In this photo, I was only cooking half a pound.)
Place the bacon on the middle rack of a COLD oven. Set the temperature to 400 degrees and then walk away. Set a timer for 16 minutes and check the bacon. Remove it from the oven when it is as crisp or crunchy as you like. I remove ours at 18 minutes and it's a great balance of chewy crunch. If you like your bacon crispy enough to crumble, you will probably want to cook it another minute past that. Use tongs to transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Enjoy!
