Tips:
- Choose the right bacon. Thick-cut bacon will hold up better in the air fryer than thin-cut bacon.
- Preheat your air fryer. This will help the bacon cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. If you overcrowd the basket, the bacon will not cook evenly.
- Cook the bacon for the recommended time. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and the desired doneness.
- Watch the bacon closely. Once the bacon is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the air fryer immediately.
- Drain the bacon on paper towels. This will help remove excess grease.
- Serve the bacon immediately. Bacon is best served hot and crispy.
