Air Fryer Bacon
Description
The recipe starts with preheating the air fryer to 350°F. Bacon strips are placed in a single or slightly overlapping layer in the basket. They cook for 8 to 10 minutes, with 10 minutes yielding crispy, golden edges. Adjust cooking duration based on thickness and desired doneness. This method circulates hot air to render fat and crisp the bacon without burning or uneven cooking often seen in pans.
Results include evenly browned bacon with a balance of crisp edges and some tender parts, depending on timing. Using an air fryer reduces splatter and cleanup compared to pan frying. This approach suits quick preparation of bacon for breakfasts or recipes needing cooked bacon pieces.
Ingredients
- 6 lices Bacon
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes (if your model recommends it)
- Place the bacon strips in your air fryer (it's okay if some overlap a little but try to leave some space between)
- Cook at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. 10 minutes yield nice and crispy, golden brown bacon. If you want it less crispy, cook less and for more crispy, cook more. Also, if you have thick-cut bacon you may need a few minutes longer.
