To bake thick bacon at 350°F (175°C):

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper to make cleanup easier.

4. Bake the bacon for the desired time, or until it reaches your preferred level of crispiness.
5. 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 baking time, as the cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the bacon.
