Making bacon in an air fryer is super easy, and it comes out extra crispy without the need to flip it!
HOW TO COOK BACON IN AN AIR FRYER
- Start by placing the bacon slices in the air fryer basket. If they’re too long, cut them in half to fit better. It’s fine if they touch, but avoid overlapping or layering them.
- Set the air fryer to 350° F and cook for 8-15 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness.
- Once done, carefully move the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any extra grease.
- Now, you’re ready to enjoy your delicious bacon!

INSTRUCTIONS
- Â Lay bacon slices in an air fryer basket. They can be touching each other but shouldn’t be overlapping or on top of each other. (If your air fryer is small, you may need to cut the bacon in half to make it fit. Cook bacon in batches as needed.)
- Air fry at 350° F for 8-15 minutes, until the bacon is cooked how you like it. Thicker bacon will take longer to cook and thinner bacon will cook faster.
- Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb extra grease. If cooking a second batch of bacon in the air fryer, pour the grease out of the bottom of the air fryer before adding the second batch of bacon.
