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: Thick-cut bacon works best in the air fryer because it cooks evenly and doesn't shrink too much.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer: Leave some space between the bacon strips so that they can cook evenly.
  • Set the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for cooking bacon in the air fryer is 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Adjust the cooking time: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your bacon and how crispy you like it. Start with a cook time of 8-10 minutes and adjust as needed.
  • Watch the bacon closely: Air fryers can cook food quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on the bacon to prevent it from overcooking.
