Thick Cut Bacon In Air Fryer Recipes

AIR FRYER BACON RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F (187 degrees C).
• Optional step: Add a little bit of water to the air fryer drip tray, to prevent smoking. Use just enough to cover the bottom of the tray below the grate; this was 1/2 cup in my air fryer.
• Arrange the bacon in a single layer in the air fryer rack or basket, overlapping slightly. (Bacon in the air fryer will shrink as it cooks.) Depending on the size and shape of your air fryer, it may help to cut the bacon pieces in half.
• Cook for 6 minutes. Open the air fryer and spread out the bacon pieces so that they aren't overlapping. Cook for 1-4 more minutes for regular bacon, or 3-5 more minutes for thick cut bacon, or until done to your liking.

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Lay bacon in the air fryer basket in a single layer; some overlap is okay.
• Fry for 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until bacon is crisp, about 7 minutes more. Transfer cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess grease.

AIR FRYER BACON

Steps:

• Lay the bacon in a single layer in the base of an air fryer - be sure the layers aren't overlapping. The size of the air fryer basket will determine how many rashers you can cook at one time.
• Set the air fryer to 200C and cook streaky bacon rashers for 6-10 mins - just-cooked bacon will take 6 mins, but crispier bacon will take 9-10 mins. Cook back bacon rashers for 4-8 mins, depending on your preference. If you are cooking in batches, remember that the second batch will usually be quicker as the air fryer has heated up.
• Remove the bacon using tongs and put on kitchen paper to drain before serving.
