Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook Bacon: Place the bacon in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 400°F. Set the timer for 5 to 8 minutes. If using a thin cut bacon, use 5 minutes, for thicker cut use closer to 8 minutes.
  2. Finish: Check it half way through, see if you need to re-arrange it around, so it fries evenly. After the timer goes off, transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure to not overcrowd your air fryer with bacon pieces or else they won't cook evenly.
  • Check the bacon half way through cooking to ensure you don't need to reposition any pieces and your bacon is crisping to your liking.
  • Depending on the cut of your bacon, you may need to adjust the cooking time. Thinner bacon will need less time, whereas thicker bacon will need to cook more.
  • Make sure to transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined dish after cooking. This will ensure to soak up any excess grease left on the bacon.
  • If you are doing more than one batch of bacon, be sure and empty the grease from the lower basket before starting the second batch.
  • Leftover bacon will last in the fridge for 3-4 days.
