Crispy Air Fryer Bacon (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 or 5 pieces of bacon
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
If your slices are too long, go ahead and trim or fold them so they fit in the basket. Lay them down in a single layer inside.
02 -
Warm up your air fryer for about 3 minutes at 350°F (177°C). Or just do what your air fryer's manual suggests.
03 -
Let the bacon cook for 8 to 10 minutes at 350°F (177°C) till it's nice and crispy. Doing half slices? Go for 7 to 9 minutes. If you've got thick bacon, 9 to 12 minutes does the trick. You can skip flipping them.
04 -
Move the cooked bacon onto a plate with paper towels to soak up the extra grease. Eat right away.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Want your bacon super crispy? Drain it really well with paper towels before digging in.
02 -
Leftover bacon cools off just fine—stick it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or pop it in the freezer for as long as 6 months.
03 -
To heat bacon back up, toss it in the air fryer, microwave, or even a pan until it's crunchy again.
04 -
If you're making more batches, pour out the bacon grease from the air fryer basket to help stop any smoke.
