How to Make Bacon in the Air Fryer
Simple directions on how to make bacon in the air fryer which is very quick, less messy than traditional frying, and super crispy.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 strips of bacon cut in half
Instructions
- Turn on your air fryer and preheat it to 375 degrees for 2 minutes.
- Place the bacon halves on the rack that came with the air fryer (so they aren't sitting directly on the bottom) in an even layer.
- Cook for 5-8 minutes until cooked to your liking. If the bacon moves or curls while cooking, simply use tongs to keep everything in a single layer.
- Use tongs to remove the bacon from the air fryer and place it on a paper towel to absorb the extra grease.
- Enjoy hot or use in your favorite recipes.
Notes
- I found that thick cut bacon worked best in the air fryer as it tended to not curl up and get moved around as much by the circulating air.
