Ingredients

  • 1 lb bacon

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  • While the air fryer is preheating, arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the air fryer basket. You may need to cook the bacon in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Place the basket into the air fryer and cook the bacon for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
  • Halfway through cooking, flip the bacon slices using tongs to ensure even cooking on both sides.
  • Once cooked, use tongs to carefully transfer the bacon onto a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
  • Allow the bacon to cool for a minute or two before serving to avoid any burns.

Notes

  • The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and personal preference for crispiness. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • It's important to check the bacon periodically during cooking to prevent it from burning.
  • Remember to clean the air fryer basket thoroughly after cooking bacon to remove any grease residue.
