Is Air Fryer Bacon Healthier?
Air fryer bacon does not need any oil to cook. The air fryer makes use of rapid hot air circulation to air fry the bacon to produce the crispy fried texture. Hence, there are less fats. But, bacon is still bacon, which is high-fat and high-cholesterol, so it is advisable to eat sparingly.
How to Cook Bacon in an Air Fryer?
Place the bacon into the air fryer basket on a single layer. Adjust the air fryer temperature to 400F. Cook for 8 minutes. Halfway through the cooking, turn the bacon to ensure both sides are cook evenly. Depending on the thickness of the bacon, you may need to adjust the cooking time. Once the bacon is crispy, you can remove them from the air fryer.
My tip on cooking air fryer bacon is to try to cook one slice of bacon first. If you like the texture and crispiness, then cook the rest at the same temperature and duration. If you are making a few batches at the same time, remember to drain some of the fat that collects in the bottom basket, if not, it might cause excessive smoking.
