Notes
- 10 minutes for crisp bacon with a slight bend; 11-12 minutes for extra crisp. Check at 10 minutes and air fry in 1-minute intervals for desired crispness.
- For less crisp bacon, air fry for 8-9 minutes; it'll crisp up as it cools.
- We use Wright's Applewood thick-cut bacon, but any brand works.
- Adjust cook time for thinner bacon.
- Cooking time varies by air fryer model; adjust accordingly.
- Avoid pressurized cooking sprays as they might damage the non-stick surface.
- Recipe time based on a cold air fryer. Check remaining batches early when cooking in multiple batches; they may cook faster.
