It’s super simple. Take a piece of bacon and twist it in an upward motion so it resembles a straight line (not wrapped around itself like a piece of sushi). Then, line up your pieces of bacon side-by-side on a baking rack placed on top of a sheet pan. For easy cleanup, we lined the sheet pan with aluminum foil.
