Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 12 oz package bacon I used center cut
Instructions
- Place 5-6 pieces of bacon in the air fryer basket.

- Carefully place the cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towels.

Notes
- Add a little water to the air fryer basket to help prevent smoking. I also like to empty the grease before making a second batch of bacon.
- You can also add a piece of bread to the very bottom of the air fryer basket to soak up any grease.
- Don't overcrowd the basket. You want the hot air to be able to circulate around each piece.
- Drain on paper towels. This will help your bacon be crispy and delicious because it absorbs any excess grease.
- I am using a 5.8 quart basket style air fryer. This will also work with a toaster style air fryer.
