Air Fryer Bacon
Description
Air frying bacon involves arranging raw bacon strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, allowing hot circulating air to crisp the strips quickly. Cooking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 to 8 minutes produces bacon that is crisped through without the need to turn the strips during cooking, simplifying the process. The even heat and air circulation help render fat from the bacon, leading to a texture that retains both crunch and chew.
The recipe recommends cutting bacon strips in half if needed to fit them properly in the basket. It also advises against using air fryers that resemble toaster ovens without baskets, as this method may not be suitable for those models. Since air fryer performance varies, monitoring the first batch may help determine the best timing for preferred doneness.
The resulting bacon can be served immediately. The ability to cook bacon in the air fryer allows for less mess and more hands-off cooking compared to stovetop frying or baking in the oven. This technique may be useful when preparing breakfast or adding crispy bacon to dishes without using additional pans.
