Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon (regular or thick-cut, see note)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Arrange Bacon: Place the bacon strips in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Cook Bacon: For regular bacon, cook for 7 to 10 minutes until it reaches your preferred level of crispiness. For thick-cut bacon, cook for 12 to 15 minutes. Adjust the time slightly depending on your air fryer model and desired crispiness.
- Remove and Serve: Carefully remove the bacon using tongs and place it on paper towels to absorb excess grease before serving.
Notes
- Use regular or thick-cut bacon depending on your preference. Keep in mind that thick-cut bacon requires longer cooking time.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the brand and model of your air fryer.
- For extra crispy bacon, you can flip the bacon halfway through cooking.
- Be cautious when handling the hot air fryer basket and hot bacon grease.
