Air Fryer Bacon

Cooking bacon in the air fryer is the best way to get crisp, delicious bacon without all the mess. No more standing over a hot stove, dodging splatters of grease, and constantly checking to make sure it doesn't burn. So easy, so convenient, and soooooo crispy!

Ingredients

  • 8 slices bacon

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 360°F/180°C.
  • Place bacon in air fryer basket in a single layer [Note 1].
  • Air fry bacon at 360°F/ 180°C for 10 minutes.
  • If crisper bacon is required, cook for additional 1-2 minutes as needed.
  • If you are making more than one batch be sure to drain the bacon grease between batches as the air fryer can start to produce smoke if the oil starts to build up.

Notes

  1. If your air fryer is prone to food sticking give it a quick brush or spritz with oil first.
