Air Fryer Bacon Recipes

AIR FRYER BACON

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.

CRISPY AIR FRYER BACON

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 360°F.
• Once preheated, place a small amount of water in the bottom of the air fryer.
• Place bacon slices in the air fryer in a single layer. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cut them in half).
• Cook 8-11 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel lined plate.
• Clean the bottom of the air fryer if you will be cooking more batches. Repeat with remaining slices.
• Once all of the bacon is cooked, add it all back into the air fryer and cook 1 minute to heat through and serve all at once.

AIR FRYER BACON WRAPPED JALAPEñO POPPERS

Steps:

• Cut the jalapeños in half, lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds and white ribs. Set aside.
• In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder and salt until smooth & evenly combined.
• Fill the jalapeño halves with the cream cheese mix. If using 6 slices of bacon, cut them in half lengthwise. Wrap the bacon around the filled jalapeño poppers.
• Sprinkle black pepper over the top of the wrapped jalapeño poppers. Lay in air fryer basket/tray in a single layer.
• Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for 10-12 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender, or cook to your preferred doneness. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.
