Ingredients
200g(7oz)Bacon of your choice
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer for 3 minutes at 200c (or 390f).
Place your bacon rashers directly into the basket in a single layer (touching is fine but try not the overlap them too much).
Cook for 5 minutes. Drain any fat off, flip over and if you want to avoid back bacon curling up, use scissors to slip a small cut through the fat layer.
Cook for a further 2 – 3 minutes to crisp it up.
For lightly cooked/pale coloured bacon:
Serve at the end of step 3 above.
For crumbly/well done bacon:
Drain again at the 7 minute mark and add another 2 minutes of cooking.
Notes
Type of bacon: The common types of back or streaky bacon found in the UK, US and Australia are fine to cook like this. Smoky or unsmoked is also OK.
