If you love bacon but hate the grease splatters on your stove, you are going to adore this method. Cooking it in the air fryer makes the fat render out beautifully, leaving you with perfectly crispy strips every single time.

Since air fryers vary in power, keep an eye on your bacon during the last minute of cooking. It goes from perfect to burnt quickly, so it is better to check early and add time if you need it.

Ingredients

  • 6 strips of bacon
  • Optional black pepper or maple syrup for flavor

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the bacon strips in a single layer in your air fryer basket.

  2. 2

    Set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  3. 3

    Cook for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how thick your bacon is and how crispy you like it.

  4. 4

    Remove the bacon with tongs and let it rest on a paper towel lined plate for a minute before eating.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips

Drain the bacon grease from the bottom of your air fryer basket once it cools down so it does not smoke next time. You can save the leftover bacon in the fridge for up to three days and reheat it for a quick breakfast.
