How to Make Bacon in an Air Fryer

Cris here.

We love bacon around here. It is a staple for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a key ingredient to many of our dishes. But true confession… making bacon is NOT my favorite thing, so I am always looking for ways to make it easy. Shortly after purchasing my air fryers, I set out to figure out how to make bacon in an air fryer and boy, oh boy once I figured it out, I loved it.

It especially came in handy in our Camper Kitchen. I probably used my air fryer more than my crock pot while we were traveling because it was on full time breakfast duty!

UPDATE: We use our air fryer to make bacon all the time, including for meal prep for our favorite road foods we discuss in this video:

Notes on Air Fryer Bacon

  • Readers have shared that if you place a little water in the bottom of the air fryer (where the grease catches) it will reduce any smoking you might experience. LOVE this tip!
  • The more bacon you use in a batch the longer you may have to cook it. The same is true if you cook less than a full batch– it will take less time.
  • Air fryers may cook differently. Always first test in your unit attended.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.

    Love your videos. I’m so excited if you put more videos on about air frying. I just got mine at Christmas and just learning how to use them. Thank you for this info on Bacon.

    When you say put the bacon in the air fryer pan, do you mean the basket with the holes or just on the bottom of the pan? Sorry for what is probably a dumb question but I am new using my air fryer.

      Not a silly question at all! I mean the basket. Not the pan that catches the grease. I have updated the post to say basket to avoid confusion.

      Enjoy!!

    This is great! I didn’t think of putting bacon in my air fryer. Are you going to add more air fryer recipes?

      Hi Carolyn!

      We hope to. It may be a little while, but we plan on adding some to the mix!

      We have two, but I use my 5.3 Quart (referral link) http://amzn.to/2Cq2hfL the most to make bacon because I can make more at one time. Enjoy!
