Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound bacon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  • While it preheats, arrange the bacon slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Place the basket in the air fryer and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired crispiness. It's important to check the bacon periodically during cooking to prevent it from burning.
  • Flip the bacon halfway through using tongs to ensure even cooking.
  • Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.
  • Let it cool for a minute or two before serving.

Notes

What to Serve with Air Fryer Bacon

  • A classic combo with crispy bacon is Scrambled Fried or Poached Eggs
  • Pair it with Pancakes or Waffles, and add a little maple syrup.
  • Adds crunch and a smoky flavor to creamy avocado toast.
  • Wrap bacon with eggs, cheese, and veggies in a tortilla.
  • A bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich is always a winner.
