Instructions

How To Make Bacon in Air Fryer
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat air fryer to 350F / 180C.
  2. Place bacon in the air fryer basket in a single layer. To cook all 12 slices you will need to fry the bacon in two batches.
  3. Cook for 8-12 mins, turn the slices over half way through the cook time.
  4. If you want your bacon less crispy, then cook it for a couple mins less.
  5. Thicker cuts of bacon may need more time.
