Ingredients

¾ pound thickly sliced pancetta
olive oil, or as needed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven until pancetta is crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove pancetta to a cutting board and chop. Pour the drippings on the baking sheet into a skillet; add olive oil to skillet.
