Ingredients

Instructions
- Prep. Arrange bacon slices in air fryer basket leaving space between each slice. Line with air fryer safe parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Air Fry Bacon. Air fry at 350º F for 10 minutes. The air fryer will begin preheating at the beginning of the air fry cycle for about 2-3 minutes before the 10 minute cycle begins. Halfway through the 10 minute cooking cycle, carefully flip the bacon slices using tongs.
- Drain and serve. Remove from the air fryer and place on a paper-towel lined plate to drain. The bacon will continue to cook for a few minutes once removed.
