  • Total Time: 9 to 14 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon (regular or thick cut)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Air Fryer: Place bacon strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If needed, cut strips in half to fit properly without overlapping.
  2. Cooking Regular Cut Bacon: Set the air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F. Cook the bacon for 7 to 9 minutes, checking for desired crispiness.
  3. Cooking Thick Cut Bacon: Set the air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F. Cook the bacon for 10 to 12 minutes, adjusting time as needed until crispy.
  4. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess grease. Discard any bacon drippings from the basket between batches.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary based on air fryer model and bacon thickness.
  • For extra crispy bacon, increase cooking time in 1-minute increments, monitoring closely to avoid burning.
  • Cutting bacon strips in half can help them fit better and cook more evenly.
  • Discard grease carefully as it can be hot and messy.
  • Regular cut bacon typically cooks faster than thick cut bacon.
