Air Fried Bacon Recipe

Plate of crispy, cooked bacon.

Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1 lb low sodium sliced bacon

Instructions

The following steps should be followed when air frying bacon:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F or 204°C using the air fry setting.
  2. Heavy-duty aluminum foil should be used to cover a big baking sheet.
  3. Cover the foil-lined baking sheet with a large piece of parchment paper.
  4. Place two fresh or frozen pieces of bread on the baking sheet.
  5. Remove the bacon from the package and equally distribute it on the air fry tray.
  6. Position the air fry tray in the oven's third position from the top.
  7. Place the air fry tray on top of the covered baking sheet.
  8. Set the timer for half the amount of time you want to cook (see notes).
  9. Pull the baking sheet and the air fry tray out of the oven at the same time at the halfway mark to prevent fat from dripping into the oven.
  10. Toss the bacon with tongs and rotate if necessary. Bacon on the outside of the pan cooks faster.
  11. Return the air fry tray and baking pan to the oven simultaneously, being careful not to splash fat out of the drip pan.
  12. Set the timer for the remaining cooking time to get the desired crispness.
  13. To cool, remove the bacon from the air fry tray and place it on a paper towel-lined platter.

Notes

Crispy air-fryer bacon takes about 7 minutes per side or 14 minutes in total. You can adjust this time down if you prefer a less crispy result.
