Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Coat the Bacon: Lay out the bacon strips on a flat surface. Lightly dust both sides with flour using a fine mesh sieve or your fingers. Shake off any excess.
- Bake: Arrange the coated bacon on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Leave space between each strip.
- Cook: Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy.
- Drain & Serve: Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat. Let it cool slightly—it’ll crisp up even more as it rests!
Pro Tips:
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—air circulation is key for even cooking.
- For extra crunch, try using rice flour or cornstarch instead of all-purpose flour.
- Use a wire rack on top of your baking sheet to allow fat to drip off and heat to circulate.
Why You’ll Love This Method
