Bacon is my go-to protein of choice for breakfast on the weekends or during the week when I have a little extra time in the mornings. And I love how easy it is to cook Air Fryer Bacon. It’s a lot quicker than cooking bacon in the oven and everything is contained in the air fryer basket, so less splatter on the stovetop. It’s definitely a quick & easy cooking method for all you bacon lovers out there!
Why Cook Bacon In An Air Fryer?
Cooking bacon in the air fryer is all about convenience and saving time. It’s a lot quicker than preheating and baking your bacon inside an oven. It’s also a lot less messier than cooking bacon on the stovetop and having grease splatter everywhere. Everything is contained inside the air fryer basket for easy cooking and simple clean up!
How Long To Cook Air Fryer Bacon?
The cook times for air frying bacon will depend on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you want your bacon to be. We tried a couple different cook times and temperatures with a few different types of bacon. Our preferred temperature was 360°F. So for regular cut bacon, air fry at 360°F for 7-9 minutes or 12-14 minutes for thick cut bacon.
What To Serve With Air Fryer Bacon?
Enjoy your air fryer bacon with a side of Homemade Pancakes, Cheese Grits, or my favorite is a simple Fried Egg with a side of toast. Air fryer bacon is also perfect to crumble and add to several dishes like Breakfast Pizza, Egg Muffins, or these tasty Twice Baked Potatoes!
