Ingredients

  • 1 pound of thick cut bacon

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  • While the air fryer is preheating, arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the air fryer basket. You may need to cook the bacon in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Place the basket into the air fryer and cook the bacon for 8-10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
  • Halfway through cooking, flip the bacon strips using tongs to ensure even cooking on both sides.
  • Once cooked, use tongs to carefully transfer the bacon onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
  • Allow the bacon to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving to avoid any burns.
