how long to bake bacon at 350

The baking time for bacon at 350°F (175°C) can vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and your desired level of crispiness. Here are some general guidelines:

– Thin-cut bacon: 12-15 minutes
– Regular-cut bacon: 15-20 minutes
– Thick-cut bacon: 20-25 minutes

To achieve crispy bacon, you can also try the following:

1. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
2. Lay the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overlap them.
3. Bake for the recommended time, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness.
4. Remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Keep an eye on the bacon during the last few minutes of baking, as it can quickly go from perfectly cooked to burnt. You can also use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the bacon, which should be at least 145°F (63°C) for food safety.
