Sometimes bacon is the whole plan. The air fryer handles it quietly and evenly, leaving you with crisp slices and a kitchen that doesn’t smell like frying oil.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the bacon strips into the air fryer basket, slightly overlapping if needed but not tightly packed.
- Start cooking at 180°C / 355°F.
- After 4 minutes, open the basket and rearrange the slices so they cook evenly.
- Continue cooking for another 2–5 minutes, depending on how crisp you like it.
- Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towel and let it sit briefly to firm up.
Serving ideas (changed perspective)
This bacon works anywhere you’d normally use pan-fried slices. Add it to toast, eggs, salads, burgers, or crumble it over leftovers when the fridge feels uninspiring.
