Categories     Lunch

Time 12m

Yield Makes 3-6 rashers

Number Of Ingredients 1

6 rashers streaky bacon, or 3 rashers back 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon: Back bacon is the best cut of bacon for air frying. It's leaner than regular bacon, so it cooks more evenly and doesn't splatter as much.
  • Preheat your air fryer: Preheating your air fryer helps the bacon cook more evenly. Preheat it to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes before adding the bacon.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer: If you overcrowd the air fryer, the bacon won't cook evenly. Cook the bacon in batches if necessary.
  • Flip the bacon halfway through cooking: Flipping the bacon halfway through cooking helps it cook evenly and prevents it from sticking to the air fryer basket.
  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy: The bacon is done cooking when it's crispy. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you like it.

Conclusion:

Air fryer back bacon is a quick and easy way to cook bacon. It's crispy, delicious, and perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few simple tips, you can make perfect air fryer back bacon every time.
