Description
Crispy air fryer bacon cooked to perfection. Simple recipe for a delicious breakfast side.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Pound Bacon (450 grams), thick or thin cut
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to the right temperature. You will know it is ready when a little heat wafts out and the interior feels warm to the touch. This step helps the bacon cook evenly from the get-go, so avoid skipping it!
- Arrange Bacon Slices: Lay the bacon slices in a single layer in the fryer basket. They should fit without overlapping. If they are piled on top of each other, some will end up crispy while others remain chewy.
- Air Fry Bacon: Cook the bacon in the air fryer, letting the sizzling sound tell you it is working. You will see the fat starting to render.
- Check for Doneness: Midway through cooking, take a peek to see how it is progressing. Adjust cooking if some slices look darker than others.
- Drain Excess Fat: Once the bacon looks crispy enough for your liking, carefully remove it and let it rest on a paper towel to soak up any extra grease.
- Serve & Enjoy: Serve the bacon warm, and enjoy the crispy results.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Expert Tips: Pour out any fat that pools in the air fryer basket between batches.
- Keep cooked bacon warm under a paper towel until serving.
- If bacon ends up unevenly cooked, ensure the slices do not overlap and adjust cooking time if necessary.
- When you notice excess grease in the basket, pouring it out between batches aids in achieving a less greasy outcome.
- Lowering the air fryer temperature slightly or checking for overcrowding can help if the edges of the bacon are burning.
