Air Fryer Bacon Recipe

This has potential but as written you will end up with very burnt bacon. I went ahead and experimented with the entire pound package. The basket only holds a few pieces at a time so this was quite a lengthy test. On the very last batch I got it right. I ended up reducing the temp to 350, cooking it for 5 minutes, flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Another helpful hint is to cut your bacon pieces in half prior to putting them in the basket. If you do not, the pieces that overlap never get as done as crisp as the parts that are not overlapping.

Super easy and yummy! I used thick cut bacon and could fit 5-6 pieces in my Insignia 5Qt at a time. Best timing I found to be 7 and 6 minutes (flipping in between, as written). 8 and 7 was crispy and great for crumbling, but 7 and 6 was better for crisp BLTs where it needed to hold together a little bit. Thanks for this recipe!

I cut the bacon in half so it would be in a single layer. I adjusted the time to 8 minutes, at 375, turning half way. My air fryer has a metal rack that can be added, so I am actually cooking 2 levels. The top level was perfect ! I cooked the lower layer an additional 2 minutes. This was thick sliced bacon. (It needs to be drained on both sides on the paper towel) Clean up is easy, it was not near as messy/smelly, and great on these unbearably hot summer days when you want a BLT but not a hot kitchen!

I cook bacon for 15 minutes at 320 degrees in my Cosori air fryer. It is so delicious and crispy. Will never fry on range again.

This was deeeelish and the perfect method for the air fryer! The only thing I switched up was that I sprinkled some brown sugar on top of the bacon about halfway through. So good!

We like our bacon crispy but not burnt. After several tests, I settled on 3 minutes on each side at 390 degrees. That is cooking 5 half strips at a time. Very tasty and quick. Tradeoff is the multiple batches required if you're cooking a whole pound of bacon.

made half a package. cooked for about 7-8 minutes and it was done perfectly. I'm sure time cooked varies based on different air frying ovens. Still quicker, easier, and less mess than conventional pan frying.

Such an easy way to make bacon. My air fryer took less time to make 6 perfectly cooked regular sliced bacon

Literally the best! ❤️

Straight up perfection in a bowl.

Maggie Palmer has the correct info if you have the same Cosori air fryer as we do!

OMG! I don't think I will make bacon any other way now! I have a 3.6qt air fryer. I cooked 1lb of bacon in 3 batches. I did overlap them a bit but it's great if you like cooked med well to well done, especially if you are using it for bacon bits. The other big PLUS is that my kitchen (which I usually close off from the rest of the house) doesn't hardly smell like bacon and there was hardly any grease on the bacon!!! Of course the clean up was great too! I used a baster to get the grease out of the fryer and the rest was easy!

I cooked it for 6 minutes each side

no changes...delicious

I really enjoyed how mine came out thank you!

This is the only way I make bacon. It takes about 45 minutes to cook one pound.

needed to take out earlier on 2nd batch....this is a great air fryer bacon recipe tho
