Grilled Bacon

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F. Make sure the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.

2. While the grill is heating up, take the bacon out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. This will help the bacon cook more evenly.

3. Once the grill is ready, carefully place the strips of bacon directly on the grill grates. You can also use a grill pan or a sheet of aluminum foil if you prefer to avoid flare-ups.

4. Close the lid and let the bacon cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the bacon slices and your desired level of crispiness. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

5. If you like your bacon extra crispy, you can rotate the strips and move them to a cooler part of the grill to cook a bit longer without direct heat.

6. If you want to add some extra flavor, brush the bacon with your favorite BBQ sauce or maple syrup during the last minute of cooking. This will caramelize and create a delicious glaze.

7. Once the bacon reaches your preferred level of crispiness, carefully remove it from the grill using tongs and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.

8. Let the bacon rest for a minute or two before serving to allow it to crisp up even more.

9. Serve the grilled bacon hot alongside your favorite breakfast dishes like eggs, pancakes, or avocado toast. It also makes a tasty addition to sandwiches, salads, or even as a crunchy topping for creamy soups.
