Crispy Air Fryer Bacon
Description
Crispy Air Fryer Bacon uses the convection heat of the air fryer to cook bacon slices evenly and with less grease splatter. The addition of a small amount of water at the bottom helps limit smoke during cooking. Bacon is arranged in a single layer inside the air fryer basket and cooked for 8 to 11 minutes, depending on your preferred crispness and the bacon’s thickness. Cooking in batches ensures each slice crisps well without overcrowding the air fryer. After all batches are done, the bacon can be reunited in the air fryer for a minute to warm through before serving. This method produces bacon with a crisp texture and minimal effort.
The bacon crisps up nicely thanks to the hot circulating air, resulting in a pleasing texture. The instructions recommend dabbing grease between batches for best results. Overall, this method offers a relatively clean and efficient way to prepare crispy bacon without stovetop frying or oven baking.
This bacon can accompany breakfast dishes like eggs and toast or be added to salads, sandwiches, or burgers. Its crispy texture complements many meals.
The notes suggest adjusting cooking time based on bacon thickness and emphasize removing excess grease between batches for consistent crispiness. Reheating briefly after all cooking is complete helps serve the bacon hot at once.
Ingredients
- 8 lices Bacon
- water
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 360°F.
- Once preheated, place a small amount of water in the bottom of the air fryer.
- Place bacon slices in the air fryer in a single layer. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cut them in half).
- Cook 8-11 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel lined plate.
- Clean the bottom of the air fryer if you will be cooking more batches. Repeat with remaining slices.
- Once all of the bacon is cooked, add it all back into the air fryer and cook 1 minute to heat through and serve all at once.
Notes
- Cook bacon in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even crisping.
- Pat the air fryer basket dry between batches to remove excess grease for consistent cooking.
- Adjust cooking time depending on bacon thickness; thinner slices cook faster.
- When all bacon is cooked, reheat all pieces together in the air fryer for 1 minute before serving.
