Ingredients

  • 6 slices Bacon thick sliced
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place bacon in a single layer in the air fryer, try not to overlap pieces.
  2. Optional: brush a little maple syrup onto the bacon.
  3. Cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, turning once halway through.
  4. Carefully remove hot bacon onto a plate with a paper towel to cool.

Notes

  • Pros: The bacon cooks evenly and is crispy. It only takes 10 minutes to cook. Grease from the bacon drips through the rack as the bacon cooks, so the bacon comes out less greasy. The mess is contained to inside the air fryer, no splattering, which also keeps the smell of cooked bacon is more contained. We all love the smell of bacon, but not when it lingers for hours in the house.
