Ingredients

6 slices bacon *see notes

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400℉ (204℃). Grease the inside of the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. *If your air fryer does not require preheating, skip doing so.
Place the bacon slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between each slice.
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 7-9 minutes. *Flipping is optional, but unnecessary when using an air fryer basket or tray with holes.
Remove bacon from the air fryer, serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Bacon: You can use any brand or type of bacon, including cured and uncured, turkey bacon, thick-cut bacon, streaky bacon, short cut bacon and middle cut bacon. Cook time may need to be adjusted by a few minutes or so depending on the type.

Tip 1: Cook time is dependent on thickness of bacon, how crispy you like it, air fryer brand and air fryer style, as each air fryer varies.

Tip 2: The beauty of air fryers is that the air evenly flows around the food so there is no need to flip it when you're using the standard air fryer basket with holes or a rack (for oven style air fryers). If you're using a solid tray, you should flip the bacon halfway through cooking.
