Instructions

  •  Preheat the air fryer to 400°F/200°C for five minutes.

  • Allow the bacon to rest for 3 minutes, pat off any grease with a paper towel, and serve with your favorite breakfast food.

Notes

  • This Ninja Foodi recipe is for thick cut bacon. For thin or regular cut bacon, reduce the time. 
  • Regardless of which thickness of bacon you're cooking in the Ninja Foodi, be sure to check on it frequently so that you remove it when it's at the doneness you like. 
  • Allowing the bacon to rest let's it get extra crispy, as the bacon will continue to cook as it cools down. 
  • To cook frozen bacon in the ninja foodi, air fryer the frozen pile of bacon slices for a few minutes at 350, until you can separate the slices. Then spread them out and follow the recipe as written. 
  • Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
  • Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfrying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
