Perfect Air Fryer Bacon

This recipe details how to cook bacon strips in an air fryer to achieve crispiness without frying mess. By layering bacon in a single layer and cooking at 360°F, the bacon crisps evenly with periodic rearranging. The air fryer method renders fat efficiently and results in bacon that’s ready for breakfast or adding to other dishes.

Description

Perfect Air Fryer Bacon uses 10 slices cooked in batches to ensure even cooking. Five strips are laid flat in the air fryer basket, set to 360°F, and cooked for 8-10 minutes total, with a check and rearrangement at 5 minutes. This timing cooks the bacon through and renders the fat while producing a crisp texture.

The basket allows excess fat to drip away, reducing greasiness. The recipe suggests using paper towels under the cooked bacon to absorb extra fat before serving. This method is straightforward and reduces stovetop cleanup.

This air fryer technique works well for breakfast accompaniments, sandwiches, salads, or anywhere bacon is desired. The cooking time can be adjusted slightly to achieve preferred doneness.
