Getting Started
- For consistent crispness, arrange bacon in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overlapping strips will steam rather than crisp. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper designed for air fryers to catch rendered fat. This simplifies cleanup and prevents smoke, ensuring your kitchen stays clean.
- Cook bacon at 375°F (190°C) for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Thicker cuts may require a few extra minutes. Check for desired crispness, as air fryer models vary.
- Most unflavored, unprocessed bacon is naturally gluten-free. Always check ingredient labels for marinades or flavorings, especially for seasoned or pre-cooked varieties, to confirm gluten-free status.
