Bacon in air fryer is the easiest way to achieve crispy, evenly cooked bacon without the mess. The air fryer cooks bacon to perfection in just minutes, eliminating the need for flipping or greasy stovetops.
Cooking bacon in air fryer is quicker and cleaner compared to traditional methods. The circulating hot air ensures an even crisp while reducing excess grease, as the fat drips away. Plus, the air fryer prevents splattering, making cleanup effortless.
Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
Arrange the Bacon
Place the bacon strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Cook the Bacon
Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for extra crispiness. Adjust cooking time based on your desired crispness level.
Drain and Serve
Remove the bacon from the air fryer and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease before serving.
For extra crispy bacon, cook a little longer but keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Thicker bacon may need an extra 2-3 minutes of cooking time. If your air fryer basket is small, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
