You can throw bacon in the air fryer to cook it.
Bacon can be cooked in an air fryer and you can get perfectly crispy bacon when air frying it.
To cook bacon in the air fryer, place the bacon in a single layer in your air fryer basket, preheat the air fryer to 350 F to 400 F.
Then place the bacon in the air fryer and cook the bacon in the air fryer for 8 minutes to 12 minutes.
Flip the bacon halfway through cooking in the air fryer and cook until the bacon reaches your desired crispiness.
To reduce smoking and make cleanup of the air fryer easier you can add a small amount of water or even place a piece of bread under the basket of the air fryer to catch any grease.
When placing the strips of bacon in the air fryer basket, place the strips of bacon in a single layer and ensure they don't overlap too much or cut them to fit.
You can place a piece of foil or slice of bread at the bottom of your air fryer, "under the basket" which can catch grease and reduce smoke.
And be sure to keep an eye on the bacon and flip the bacon halfway through the cooking time to ensure the bacon is evenly cooked.
Continue to cook the bacon in short increments if needed and then after the bacon is done drained the cooked bacon and use a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess grease before eating or serving the bacon.
