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.
