Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Take each slice of bacon and twist it into a spiral shape.
Place the twisted bacon in the air fryer basket, ensuring that the twists are not overlapping. Cook in batches if needed.
Cook the bacon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness.
Once the bacon is crispy and golden brown, remove it from the air fryer and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess bacon grease.
Let the twisted bacon cool for a few minutes before serving.

You can use any type of bacon you prefer, such as thick-cut, maple-glazed, or even turkey bacon.

Make sure to twist the bacon tightly before placing it in the air fryer basket to help prevent it from unraveling.

Feel free to experiment with different seasonings such as garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, or chili flakes to customize the flavor of your bacon twists. You could also try adding a glaze made with maple syrup or honey.

You can prepare the twisted bacon ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat it in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving to regain its crispiness.

Twisted bacon makes a great accompaniment to breakfast dishes like scrambled eggs, pancakes, French toast, or breakfast sandwiches. It also adds a crispy, flavorful touch to salads, sandwiches, and charcuterie boards.
