Why You Will Love Air Fryer Bacon
How To Make Air Fryer Bacon (Quick Overview)
The steps below are just a quick overview of how to make the air fryer recipe. The full process is detailed in the recipe card at the end of the post.
First, start with your bacon—of course! 🥓
You can use any kind of bacon, but the cook time will depend on how thick your slices are. If you go with turkey bacon, it’ll cook way quicker since it’s thinner and has less fat.
I usually grab some Appleton Farms Thick Cut Bacon from Aldi, which is what I used in these photos. Sometimes, I go for the Appleton Farms Premium Sliced Bacon instead (also available at Aldi).
Photo 1: Gently shape the bacon into a loose accordion style, just like in the picture, and pop it into your air fryer basket.
Tips
Photo 2: Turn on your air fryer and set it to 400 F.
Cook the bacon for 6 to 10 minutes, adjusting to your preferred level of crispiness. Remember to open the fryer and give the bacon a stir every 3 minutes for that perfect, even crunch.
Enjoy your tasty, crispy bacon!
