Notes
Reheating and Storage
It's perfect right out of the oven or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I would suggest layering the bacon using wax or parchment paper to avoid sticking. If you would like to reheat it, simply place the bacon on a bit of foil and place it in the oven for about 10 minutes.Nutrition
