You can pan fry the bacon but I find it cleaner to bake it. To bake: preheat your oven to 400°F.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place bacon strips onto baking sheet.
Bake for 15-25 minutes (time will vary based on thickness and fat level of bacon - most ovens cook a little unevenly so check at 15 minutes, remove any pieces that are done, and continue cooking the remaining slices).
Once all slices are cooked, remove from baking sheet with tongs and place onto a new baking sheet lined with paper towels.
