🍳 Air Fryer Bacon Recipe

Serves: 2–4
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 8–10 minutes

---

Ingredients

• 8–10 slices bacon (regular or thick-cut)

---

🥣 Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer (optional):

   • Set to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes if your model recommends preheating.

2. Arrange bacon:

   • Lay bacon slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

   • It’s okay if they overlap slightly — they’ll shrink as they cook.

3. Cook:

   • Regular bacon: Air fry for 8–10 minutes.

   • Thick-cut bacon: Air fry for 10–12 minutes.

   • Check halfway through and rearrange slices if needed for even crisping.

4. Drain and serve:

   • Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel–lined plate to absorb excess grease.

   • Serve immediately or crumble over salads, eggs, or sandwiches.

✨ Tips

• For extra crispy bacon, cook 1–2 minutes longer.

• Save the bacon grease in the air fryer drawer for flavoring vegetables or eggs later.

• Cleanup hack: Place a piece of parchment paper or a slice of bread in the basket to catch grease (if your air fryer allows it).
