Less mess, no need to watch over it or even flip it, and perfect for small batches. This post will teach you everything you need to know about how to cook bacon in the air fryer.
Arrange bacon in single layer in air fryer basket.
Transfer to air fryer and cook at 350 degrees F for 6 to 8 minutes or until bacon reaches your desired level of crispness.
Use tongs to transfer bacon to paper-towel lined plate to blot excess grease, then serve immediately.
Notes
We've found that when the bacon is cold (right out of the fridge), and the air fryer also starts out cold, 7 minutes at 350 degrees is just right for most brands from the grocery store.If the bacon has been sitting out at bit, or if the air fryer has already been in use for previous batches, the cook time may need to be reduced by a minute or two.However, every brand of this appliance cooks a little differently, so you may need to adjust the cooking time. If this is your first time making bacon in the air fryer, start with 5 minutes and then add time in one minute increments from there until you reach the desired doneness. Make a note of the timing for next time!
