Air Fryer Bacon
Say goodbye to greasy stovetops and unevenly cooked strips—air fryer bacon is the ultimate kitchen hack! With its perfectly crispy texture and effortless cleanup, this method will have you making bacon faster and easier than ever.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
- While the air fryer is preheating, arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the air fryer basket. You may need to cook the bacon in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Place the basket into the air fryer and cook the bacon for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
- Halfway through cooking, flip the bacon slices using tongs to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- Once cooked, use tongs to carefully transfer the bacon onto a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
- Allow the bacon to cool for a minute or two before serving to avoid any burns.
Notes
The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and personal preference for crispiness. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
It's important to check the bacon periodically during cooking to prevent it from burning.
Remember to clean the air fryer basket thoroughly after cooking bacon to remove any grease residue.
