How to cook bacon in Air fryer

Name: Air fryer crispy bacon
Prep time: 1 min
Cook time: 8 min
Total time: 8 min
Ingredients: 5 strips bacon

This is the easiest way i found so far. No mess, no splashing fat- just perfect crispy bacon each time. Here is another recipe i tried with bacon- Air fryer bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers

To achieve desired crispiness, check on your bacon couple times during the cooking process. You know , some people like it more crisp, some less.
I chose thin cut of bacon. For a thick cut i would expand cooking time by 1 minute
Place bacon into already preheated air fryer basket, 375 degrees
How long to cook bacon in air fryer? 8 minutes usually enough for me, but keep an eye on it!

If your air fryer started to smoke, what to do to prevent it next time? Add some water on the bottom of the air fryer basket. Not too much, otherwise it may pour out through the holes of the basket.
