Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • A pair of Tongs

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pack thick-cut bacon, separated

Instructions
 

  • Place the bacon in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You can overlap the bacon slightly, but make sure it is not too crowded.
  • Set the air fryer temperature to 400 F. No need to preheat. Cook the bacon for 8-10 minutes, flipping it over halfway through cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your bacon and how crispy you like it.
  • Once the bacon is cooked, use the tongs to transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess grease. Keep the bacon warm as you cook the rest.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining bacon slices.
