Today a new snack that you can also serve as a side dish. Today not a snack with chocolate. For this recipe you only need one device at home: an Air Fryer. I was a little bit of a hater about this device, but I have seen the possibilities. I’m maybe becoming a fan of the device. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how to make Air Fryer Bacon.
What is the definition of Air Fryer Bacon
The meaning of air fryer bacon is:
”Bacon that is cooked in the air fryer until crispy”.
Air Fryer Bacon
Everyone loves bacon. The smell when you are cooking bacon. The color of bacon and then that first bite. Yes, I am a huge fan of bacon. Normally I always made bacon in a cooking pan, but you also have the option to use the oven. So today a new option is added: the Air Fryer.
You have to imagine that there are no more splashes of fat anywhere. With an Air Fryer, the fat is simply collected in the container underneath and your kitchen remains clean. That in itself is a very big advantage!
Maybe you are not really convinced by the word air fryer and bacon. I can guarantee that this recipe is really worth it! What you should be aware of is that it may be that bacon starts smoking. This is caused by the splash that hits the heat elements. This can also occur in your oven, so you don’t have to worry about this. To prevent this, I make sure that there is a bit of something at the bottom of the air fryer. It doesn’t have to be that smoke is created. If this is the case, then you know what you can do to prevent it. It’s time to tell you the steps for this bacon recipe.

Air Fryer Bacon Recipe
This snack recipe is probably the most easy recipes you have ever made. You need only need one ingredient: bacon.
You can buy the bacon from a butcher or a supermarket. Everyone has their own preference as to which bacon they like. Make sure you get the best bacon for yourself! The first step is to preheat the Air Fryer to 180 degrees Celsius. Depending on the air fryer, this may differ per model.
After preheating, place the bacon in the container. Make sure there is some water in the bottom to prevent smoking. By this I do not mean the basket. It is best to place the bacon neatly, leaving enough space for the different bacon slices. When you bake bacon, it will shrink so you can take this into account when you place the bacon. Once the bacon has been placed in the basket, it is time to bake it on 180 degrees celcius for 8-10 minutes.
After the 8 to 10 minutes, watch the bacon. Could they be a little longer so that they are more crispy? Then you can just add a minute to this. When you’re done, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain. The new load of bacon can then be placed in the Air Fryer. And that’s it! I can’t make it simpler and easier for you! Enjoy the fantastic bacon! Below the steps again.
