Why use a skillet when you can make crispy air-fryer bacon? Using your air fryer is a clean and splatter-free way to cook bacon for a small group. Pouring out the drippings between batches is key to prevent smoking.
Ingredients:
8 ounces bacon (8 slices), strips cut in half crosswise
Directions:
Preheat air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes. Working in batches if necessary, carefully arrange bacon pieces in a single layer in the fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour out the excess bacon drippings from the bottom of the basket. Repeat the procedure with any remaining bacon pieces.
