Cooking bacon in an air fryer is a quick and convenient method that produces crispy bacon with less mess than traditional stovetop or oven methods. Here's a general guideline for cooking bacon in an air fryer:
1. Preheat your air fryer to around 400°F (200°C).
2. Arrange the bacon strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping.
3. Cook the bacon for about 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
4. Check the bacon periodically to ensure it reaches your desired level of crispiness. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and the efficiency of your air fryer.
It's essential to monitor the bacon closely as it cooks to prevent it from burning. Once the bacon is crispy and cooked to your liking, remove it from the air fryer and drain it on paper towels to absorb any excess grease before serving.
Experiment with different cooking times and temperatures to achieve the perfect crispy bacon in your air fryer, as preferences may vary.
