Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the air fryer basket, to help avoid excessive smoking while cooking.
Spread out the bacon in a cold air fryer basket. Make sure they don't cover each other, you want to cook them in a single layer. They can however be placed very close together.
6 slices bacon
Set your air fryer to cook at 360 °F for 6 minutes.
Check if the bacon is crispy enough, and if not add another minute or two.
Remove bacon from the air fryer and place on parchment paper to crisp up and remove excess grease.
Notes
What To Do With Leftovers
Bacon is best eaten straight after cooking, but you can also store leftovers for later. You can reheat the leftovers or crumble it on top of salads, sandwiches, etc.
Storing: Store leftovers in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
Freezing: We don't recommend freezing leftovers.
Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the air fryer. Air fry 2-3 minutes at 360 °F (180 °C) until warm.
