Recipe FAQs
It depends on your personal preference! Some people say no, but I think it leads to a more even cook.
If you wish to keep the mess to a minimum, you can line your air fryer with aluminum foil before adding the bacon! Just make sure to weight it down, and don’t allow the foil to touch the heating element of the fryer.
This recipe calls for cooking the bacon at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. If you like crispier bacon, you can cook it for longer. If you love floppy bacon, you can take it out early.
