Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  • Twist each slice of bacon tightly into a spiral shape.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Twist the bacon tightly to help it keep its shape.
  • Thick-cut bacon may need an extra 2–3 minutes.
  • For a sweet-and-salty flavor, sprinkle brown sugar before cooking.
  • Want spicy bacon? Dust with smoked paprika or chili flakes.
