Arrange the bacon slices on a sheet pan and place the pan on the center rack of a cold oven. (Try not to stretch the slices out. Just gently drape the bacon across the pan.) Close the oven door. Turn the oven on to 400Â°F. Walk away. Come back 17 to 20 minutes later.

Check out my recipe for Candied Bacon - Brown Sugar Bacon. Bake for 10 minutes, turn bacon over and baked an additional 10 minutes. Depending on the thickness of your bacon and also how crisp you want your bacon, you may need to bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
