• Preheat oven to 425 degrees or if using convection mode preheat to 400 degrees. Place oven racks on lower middle and upper middle positions.
• Arrange the bacon in a single layer on two rimmed foil lined baking sheets. Place both baking sheets in oven and bake until crisp and browned, about 18-20 minutes. Make sure and rotate the pans halfway through the baking process.
• Remove from oven and transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve immediately or freeze ahead for later.

TO FREEZE

• Remove foil from baking pans and discard. Place parchment or wax paper on baking sheet.
• Arrange bacon in a single layer on baking sheet, add another piece of parchment or wax paper and layer another layer, making sure pieces aren’t touching. Freeze until hard, about 2 hours. This is a critical step, so don’t skip this.
• Transfer to gallon sized freezer safe bag and remove one piece out at a time as needed.
