Air Fryer Bacon is a super easy way to make everyone’s favorite breakfast side. Less mess, quicker than traditional methods, and perfectly crispy every time! Once you master this easy method, it’ll be the only way you ever cook bacon.
Lay 4-5 slices of bacon in the air fryer basket, not overlapping.
Cook in the air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 minutes for chewy bacon and 8-10 minutes for crispy bacon.
Between batches, pour the fat that pools in the bottom of the basket into a bowl to cool then discard.
