Top Tips for Making Bacon in the AIr Fryer

Don’t Overcrowd: While it’s ok if the strips of bacon overlap each other slightly, it’s important that each strip has enough space to cook evenly so that it can crisp up nicely!Check Halfway: Halfway through cooking your strips of bacon, be sure to check them to make sure they aren’t overdone! Don’t Cook Too Hot: I recommend cooking your bacon at 350 degrees Fahrenheit as the bacon will cook best and crisp up nicely at this temperature!

Instructions

Pre heat your air fryer to 350 degrees for 5 minutes (if your model recommends it)

Place the bacon strips in your air fryer (its okay if some overlap a little but try to leave some space between)

Cook at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. 10 minutes yield nice and crispy, golden brown bacon. If you want it less crispy, cook less and more crispy, cook more. Also, if you have thick cut bacon you may need a few minutes longer.

DEVOUR!

Notes

I originally had this cook at 400 degrees but learned from Natashas Kitchen that lower is better!
