Ingredients

5 Bacon slices
Black pepper optional
Paprika optional

Instructions

Line up bacon slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
You may slice bacon in half if needed. Add black pepper/paprika (optional).
Air fry bacon for 8-10 minutes at 350^oF/ 175C.
Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the bacon slices. Check bacon after 5 minutes.
Use tongs to remove bacon slices and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Empty the pan of grease and repeat steps with the remaining batches.
Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

Cook bacon at 350^oF / 175C to avoid smoking.
Air Fryer brands vary as well as temperature setting, air fry at less than 400F to avoid smoking.
Arrange bacon slices in a single layer, do not overcrowd the basket. Overcrowding will cause uneven cooking.
Cut bacon in half to fit more bacon in the basket.
Remove the grease from the pan after each batch to avoid smoking. My sister adds a piece of bread to the pan to absorb the grease from the bacon.
Thinner bacon slices may take less time to cook.
Black pepper or Paprika is optional. If you like crispy bacon without the extra kick, do not use it.
Cooking time may vary slightly based on the air fryer model; basket style or toaster over style so check on it after the first 5 minutes.
