Air Fryer Bacon

Ingredients

• 8 Bacon rashers, streaky or middle bacon

You’ll need: Air fryer

Method

1. 1

   Heat the air fryer to 180°C. Lay the rashers in the basket in a single layer. Cut them in half if they are too long, and avoid overlapping.

2. 2

   Cook for 6–10 minutes, until as crisp as you like. Check from 5 minutes: thin rashers cook quickly, thick ones take longer, and bacon goes from crisp to burnt fast. Turn thick rashers over halfway.

3. 3

   Lift out onto paper towel to drain. Bacon should be cooked through with no raw, pink or translucent fat.

4. 4

   If cooking a second batch, carefully tip the hot fat from the base of the air fryer into a heatproof container first, as built-up fat can smoke. Never leave the air fryer unattended while cooking bacon.
