- Lay bacon strips in the basket, making sure to give them some space.
Cooking
- Set your air fryer to 350°F (about 175°C).
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- If using thick-cut bacon, add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Check for doneness, and if you want it crispier, add another minute while keeping a close watch.
Finishing

Notes
For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. If your air fryer tends to smoke, pour out excess grease between batches. Bacon can be frozen for later use.
