Air Fryer Twisted Bacon
Air Fryer Twisted Bacon- perfectly crispy bacon can be made in an air fryer in just 8 to 12 minutes. Twisting the bacon helps it cook evenly plus it looks really cool.
How To Serve Air Fryer Twisted Bacon
This Air Fryer Twisted Bacon goes great with scrambled eggs and Hashbrown Casserole. I also love it with Peanut Butter French Toast. It’s a must try recipe!
1-Ingredient Recipe
This is a 1-ingredient recipe! So easy! That being said, you can add a little black pepper or cayenne pepper to the bacon for extra flavor.
Why Twist The Bacon?
Twisting the bacon makes the outside extra crispy while the interior part stays wonderfully juicy and moist since the bacon grease gets caught up in the twists.
What Type Of Bacon To Use
Center-cut bacon is a little shorter in length and fits the air fryer well. While you can use thick-cut, I think this recipe works well with a thinner cut bacon. Thick-cut will take longer to cook. Use any flavor- hickory-smoked, maple-smoked, peppered. All bacon is delicious!
How Long To Cook Bacon In An Air Fryer
I use my Cosori 5.8-quart Air Fryer to make Twisted Bacon. Air fryer cooking times can vary between different brands and models so use the cooking time as an estimate. It will most likely take at least 8 minutes and closer to 12 minutes if you want your bacon really crispy.
Recipe Tips
Twist the bacon as many times as you can. The more the better!
After air frying, place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess grease. This will keep the bacon crispy.
