I will have to try the parchment paper next time. I bake my bacon at 425 also,time varies on amount I bake. I do 1-2 packages at time then freeze unused portion.

curious how long that would bake for. Sounds like something I can handle, lol. Still new at this cooking thing, and without a specific recipe I'm totally lost!!! TIA!
My cousin says that she bakes then at 350 for about 20 minutes. It would depend on how thick you cut them. Just stick a fork in them, and if it goes in easily, they're done!

I'm partial to those refrigerated mashed potatoes myself!;) Bob Evans has a variety of them - I love the Sour Cream and Chive ones!
 
I use mine all the time to make roasted vegetables. Just use olive on top of the vegetables and sprinkle some kosher salt and freshly grated pepper on top of them. Asparagus is really good like that and so are green beans. Just about any of the veggies are good roasted like carrots, potatoes and zucchini. That's what I've tried but I'm sure that more veggies cooked that way are also good.
