Ingredients
- 12 ounces center-cut bacon*
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350F.**
- Twist the bacon as tightly as you can and place it in the air fryer basket. It can be touching, but don't allow it to overlap. Tip - You will probably need to air fry in batches to ensure it doesn't overlap.
- Air fry for 6 to 10 minutes, or as desired. Tip - The bacon will continue to crisp up a bit as it cools, so pull it out just before the desired level of crispiness. Since all air fryers, bacon, and personal preferences for doneness vary, start checking at 6 minutes and go from there.
- Place cooked bacon on paper towels to blot the excess grease and while you are air frying the remaining bacon.
- Bacon is best hot and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days. Make sure to read the blog post for air fryer cleaning tips.
Notes
- *I like to use center cut bacon when I make bacon in my air fryer because it fits into the basket easier than a full-sized strip.
- You can also use regular bacon and cut it in half before twisting it.
- Or add it in full length if your air fryer will accommodate that size. Some air fryers with XL baskets are large enough.
- I do not recommend turkey bacon nor plant-based vegan or vegetarian “bacons” because none of them have enough fat. And for twisted air fryer bacon you really do need the fat.
- **For my air fryer twisted bacon I used a Philips XXL Air Fryer. The basket is very large but use whatever brand of air fryer you have.
- I also like the Cosori XL Air Fryer. It’s budget-friendly and gives solid results for most air fryer recipes.
