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 high-quality sausage and bacon: The quality of the meat will greatly impact the final flavor of the dish. Look for meats that are fresh and free of additives.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the sausage and bacon: This will help you get even, bite-sized pieces.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: This will prevent the bites from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the bites in a single layer: This will help them get crispy on all sides.
  • Flip the bites halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
  • Don't overcook the bites: They should be cooked until they are just cooked through, but not dry.
  • Serve the bites immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Air fryer sausage bacon bites are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, game days, or anytime you need a quick and tasty bite to eat.
