Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 package of thick cut bacon
Instructions
- Line the outer basket with aluminum foil and pre-heat the air fryer to 390° F. You can also add 1-2 slices of bread to the bottom basket to soak up the grease.
- Cut the bacon slices in half (or don't, this is optional) and arrange them in the basket in a flat layer. Cook the bacon 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes depending on how you like your bacon. If you like it extra crispy, cook it for 4-5 minutes after flipping (total time 8-10 mins). When finished, remove the bacon strips from the air fryer and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.1 package of thick cut bacon

Notes
- This is my favorite air fryer, it holds almost an entire package of bacon!
- If you don't have a good pair of tongs to use with an air fryer, check these out - they won't scratch the coating off your air fryer basket.
- If you are doing more than one batch, be sure and empty the grease from the lower basket before cooking the second batch.
- I prefer thick cut bacon, but you can use thin sliced bacon too. If you are using thinner cuts, watch closely because you may need less time.
