Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C)
Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil
Arrange bacon strips in a single layer on the foil
Place the baking sheet in the oven
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness and desired crispness
Check the bacon near the end to avoid overcooking
Remove the baking sheet from the oven
Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate
Let the bacon drain for a minute before serving
Carefully discard the foil after the grease cools slightly
