8 slices bacon
Cook the bacon at 400 degrees for about 6 minutes, pausing the air fryer half way through the cooking time to readjust the bacon as it does shift.
Remove the bacon from the air fryer and place on a paper towel lined plate, then drain the grease from the air fryer into a heatproof bowl. Repeat the process with the other half of the bacon. Enjoy!
Notes
Pro tip: Cooking time will vary depending on your air fryer and the thickness of your bacon. If it's thinner cut, check for doneness after 4 minutes, and if it's thick cut it take up to 8-10 minutes to cook.
If you have a toaster oven style air fryer, you can cook all 8 slices of bacon at once instead of in 2 batches as it's larger.
If making batches in a basket style air fryer, be sure to drain the grease in between batches to eliminate smoking. If you do encounter smoking, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees.
Store unused bacon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
