Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 oz Bacon (about 4-5 strips) Thick-cut preferred for better texture.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F.
  • Lay bacon strips in a single layer on the metal rack of the air fryer.

Cooking

  • Cook bacon for 9 to 10 minutes, checking around 8 minutes for thinner slices.
  • Adjust cooking time for thicker bacon if a crispier finish is desired.
  • Carefully remove bacon using tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  • Serve hot and crispy.

Notes

For extra crispy bacon, choose thick slices and consider sprinkling with pepper or smoked paprika. If cooking in a crowded space, line the air fryer with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Leftover bacon can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
