How to Make Perfect Crispy Bacon in an Air Fryer
If you are looking to enjoy bacon but don't have much time, this crispy air fryer bacon recipe may just be the solution you need! Note: this only saves time if you need a small batch of bacon. If you need to cook a full package, it's not really a time saver.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 package sliced bacon
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add strips of bacon (seasoned before adding to air fryer if using salt and pepper) to air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cut it in half.
- Set air fryer to 350 degrees with no preheat.
- Fry for 8-10 minutes depending on desired level of crispiness.
Notes
I did try and do two layers of bacon in my air fryer by using the metal rack that came with it and lined up another layer of bacon strips on it. I feel like it took longer to cook and the layers didn't cook evenly. For what it's worth though, it pretty much worked in a pinch.
