We often mention in a lot of Ninja Foodi recipes here and over on our YouTube channel that we have been air frying bacon in our Ninja Foodi before starting the recipe. So even though we have a post about how to air fry bacon in a regular air fryer, we thought we’d share specifically how we make bacon in our Ninja Foodi too!
Notes on Air Frying Bacon in the Ninja Foodi
- Many factors go into making the perfect bacon. Bacon cut, fat content, cooking conditions and more will cause cooking times to vary. That is one reason we LOVE air frying bacon in the Ninja Foodi. The lid makes it easy to check the bacon periodically if needed.

- Check out our favorite Slow Cookers, Pressure Cookers, Multi-Cookers and Air Fryers in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking.
- All cooking units cook differently under different conditions, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own Ninja Foodi and time adjusted as needed.

I have the Ninja Foodi but it only took 10 minutes to cook the OM bacon
Made this for the first time, we loved it. My husband wants me to leave out the ranch dressing so he could try honey mustard.
Left overs for lunch.
My first time making bacon in the ninja. Turned out great. Hubby and I loved it. I cooked it 15 min.
Great video with a sense of humor.
FAST EASY AMAZING BACON ๐ฅ !!!!
Yummy and worked perfectly
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoy this as much as we do! We love some fast and easy bacon!
Iโm so glad I found your video. I live in Corpus Christi!
Love your videos easy to follow.
Thank Laura! Hearing kind words from our viewers really makes our day!
Great and easy instructions!
Perfect instructions! Thank you!
Perfect!! Just perfect bacon thank you!!!
Holy yumminess. Even though Iโve had an air fryer for two years, I just got my Ninja foodi. I saw this post and decided finally to air fry some bacon in my foodi because my turkey sandwich looked so naked on its own. Wow. I wonโt be pulling out a pan for cooking bacon anymore. Thank you for such an obvious idea. It only took 10 minutes with no flipping and I didnโt have to stand by any pan.
Do you like cooking bacon this way or with the rack better? I like saving bacon grease to use when cooking other foods like cabbage or green beans. Y’all are my favorite people!! Love youโค
We LOVE to lay the bacon flat on the metal rack on the bottom setting. A Crock Posse member mentioned it to us a while back and we tried it and loved it. We should tape another video showing you guys!
Air Fry turkey bacon in the Ninja Foodi was great. I followed the directions for cooking pork bacon.
Iโm a new Foodi owner and loving it so far.
Just tried doing bacon in Foodi Air fryer and I love It. I like the way the bacon comes out not as greasy as it does for me in the fry pan. I also like it as it not as messy lol. My Foodi has a medal rack insert and the black air fry insert, tried them both and both eays is good. I did notice with the medal rack the bacon does get a little crispy quicker. As alway it always depends on your bacon. But try it and see for yourself, you will love it.
Doesn’t it make the top lid messy?
I put in my raised Instant Pot egg cooker, on top of tree Air Crisper basket, and drape a full rasher of bacon, so each slice mostly hangs down. It crisps up perfectly, drains fat, and is ready so fast without any painful splatters
Just got a ninja foodi, and am brand new to pressure cooking. I can’t wait to try some of your recipes. I tried the Mac n cheese in the ninja cookbook, they diffinately have an error, to much salt. Please if you try this don’t add 2 tablespoons of.salt.
Surely that is two *teaspoons* of salt. Two tablespoons of salt is a ton of salt.
Yes it was awful, but what I learned is you are supposed to use kosher salt which is different, however, for me, it’s still to much, I just do my own seasons.
fixing bacon in the Ninja Foodi would be so much easier and not as greasy..have been hinting for one just hope he takes the hint
Girl if he doesn’t . get it for you go to ninja foodi grill and but it yourself. You can make like four payments. It is so worth it. I have a very bad back and am hanficapped. Makes my life so much easier. GET ONE. GOOD LUCK Terri
