Ingredients:

  • 8 strips of bacon (approximately 227g)
  • Optional: Black pepper, maple syrup, or your favorite seasoning for extra flavor

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  2. Lay the bacon strips out flat; cut strips in half if necessary to fit the air fryer basket.
  3. Arrange the bacon in a single layer in the basket (it’s okay if they touch slightly).
  4. Cook for 10-12 minutes, checking halfway through, until the bacon reaches your desired crispiness. Optionally drain excess fat.
  5. Use tongs to transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb extra grease. Season with black pepper or drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
