Notes
Cooking time is dependent on your desired preference of bacon. For extra cripsy bacon air fry for 14 minutes, for crisp bacon air fry for 12 minutes. Slightly chewy bacon, air fry for 10 minutes and for softer bacon air fry for 8 minutes. For all cooking times I recommend flipping the bacon halfway through.
When Air Frying greasy food like bacon be prepared to have some smoking. Using parchment paper and bread and running an exhaust fan will greatly reduce the smoking, however you still may have some.
Air Frying bacon will also cause the grease to be blown around in the oven when the fan is blowing, so keep this in mind if you prefer a clean oven. To avoid this you can still use the Air Fry Tray and bake the bacon instead of Air Fry.
Save heels of bread loaves and freeze to use when making air fryer bacon.
