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.
