Crispy Air Fryer Bacon: Quick & Easy! 🥓
Achieve perfectly crispy bacon every time with this quick and easy air fryer method. No more messy stovetops!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 3-7 strips bacon cut in half widthwise (adjust amount based on your air fryer size)
Instructions
- Carefully lay the bacon strips in your air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket for even cooking. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and cook for approximately 9 minutes.
- If you're using thinner bacon, it might cook faster, so check around 6-8 minutes. For thick-cut bacon, it might need an extra minute or two. Cook until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the bacon and enjoy your perfectly crispy, mess-free strips!
Notes
Healthy & Easy Tips:
- Cooking at 320°F (160°C) helps prevent smoke, as bacon fat typically smokes around 325°F (163°C).
- For healthier bacon, ensure it’s cooked until crispy, as this renders out more fat.
- Always drain any accumulated grease from the air fryer basket between batches to maintain a smoke-free cooking environment.
- For super easy cleanup, wipe the inside of your air fryer with a damp paper towel once it's completely cooled down.
