Description
Crispy, savory, and hands-off oven-baked turkey bacon is the easiest way to enjoy this healthier bacon alternative. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or quick meal prep, it delivers all the flavor with none of the mess.
Ingredients
-
1 package of turkey bacon (10–12 slices)
-
Optional: black pepper, smoked paprika, maple syrup for flavoring
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. -
Arrange the Bacon:
Lay turkey bacon slices in a single layer on the sheet. Do not overlap. Optional: place a wire rack on the sheet and lay bacon on top for extra crispiness. -
Bake the Bacon:
Bake for 10–12 minutes. Flip each strip and return to oven for another 5–7 minutes, or until desired crispness is reached. -
Drain and Serve:
Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any remaining grease. Serve immediately or store for later.
Notes
Adjust cooking time based on bacon thickness and desired crispiness.
Convection oven? Lower to 375°F and check early.
For a sweeter version, brush lightly with maple syrup before baking.
