Cut bacon into strips, then into smaller bits. Transfer into air fryer basket and cook for 6 to 8 mins or until cooked through.
Remember to toss with a spatula half way through cooking time.
Method 2
Lay bacon strips in air fryer basket full or cut in half. A little overlapping is fine since the bacon would shrink while cooking.
Air fry at 400 F for 8 mins or until crispy. Cook for up to 10 mins if using thick cut bacon.
Notes
Air fryer temperatures and times may differ depending on manufacturer be sure to read your manual.
I do not preheat my air fryer. However when cooking another batch right after the first I start checking the bacon at 7 mins since the air fryer is now preheated.
Cut the bacon evenly to ensure that it cooks evenly.
Though bacon shrinks as it cooks, do not overcrowd the air fryer.
