Air Fryer Bacon
Description
The recipe uses sprayed air fryer baskets and layers of bacon rashers cut to fit evenly in a single layer. The cooking is conducted at 180°C (350°F) for a total of 8 minutes, with a manual flip at the halfway point to promote even cooking and browning. This technique achieves a consistent texture with browned surfaces and a pleasant crispness without drying out the bacon.
The lack of overlapping pieces prevents uneven cooking or sticking. The use of cooking spray inside the air fryer basket minimizes sticking, particularly important when using lean cuts of bacon. After cooking, bacon is removed and drained on paper towels to remove excess grease.
Adjust cooking times for thicker cut bacon or variations in air fryer models, checking the bacon at 4 minutes before turning helps avoid overcooking. Cooking in batches might be necessary depending on the air fryer's size.
Ingredients
- 10 prays Cooking spray oil
- 6 rasher streaky bacon
Instructions
- Spray the inside of the air fryer basket and place the bacon in a single layer. You may need to cut the bacon rashers to make it fit.
- Set your air fryer to cook at 180°C/350℉ for 8 minutes.
- After 4 minutes, open the air fryer and turn the bacon. Cook for the remaining 4 minutes.
Notes
- Check your air fryer settings and adjust cooking time as air fryer models vary.
- Cut bacon rashers so they fit in the basket without overlapping for even cooking.
- Spray the air fryer basket to prevent bacon from sticking, especially with lean bacon.
- Turn bacon halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness and prevent sticking.
- Drain cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease before serving.
- Thicker bacon slices will require longer cooking times than thin slices.
- Empty grease from the air fryer basket before cooking the next batch to prevent smoke.
