Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 –10 bacon strips

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Arrange the bacon strips in a single layer inside the basket.
  • Cook for 7–9 minutes depending on thickness.
  • Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • Remove once the bacon reaches your preferred crispness.
  • Place on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes & Wine Advice

Recipe Notes

Avoid overcrowding the basket so the bacon cooks evenly. For less smoke, add a small amount of water to the bottom drawer if your air fryer design allows it.

Wine Tips

For brunch, a dry sparkling wine pairs wonderfully with bacon, balancing its richness with refreshing acidity. Prefer something non-alcoholic? Fresh orange juice offers a bright contrast.
