Mastering the Art of Crispy Air Fryer Bacon 
If you love crispy, perfectly cooked bacon with minimal mess, then the air fryer is your best friend! Here’s how to make the best air fryer bacon in just minutes.
Why Use an Air Fryer?
Less Mess – No oil splatter! Crispy Perfection – Evenly cooked every time. Quick & Easy – Ready in under 10 minutes!
Ingredients:
- 6–8 slices of bacon (regular or thick-cut)
Instructions:
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) (optional, but helps with crispiness).
Arrange the bacon in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping.
Cook for 7–10 minutes (7 mins for chewy, 10 for crispy). Flip halfway through for even cooking.
Drain & Serve – Place bacon on paper towels to absorb excess grease. Enjoy!
Pro Tips:
Thicker bacon? Increase cook time by 2-3 minutes. Avoid smoke? Add a little water or bread slice at the bottom to catch drippings. Batch cooking? Keep bacon warm in a 200°F oven while making more.
