Air fryer twisted bacon is a fun and delicious treat for breakfast and so easy to make. Pair the air fried bacon with your favorite savory or sweet breakfast foods.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 strips bacon
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
- To a small bowl, add smoked paprika and cayenne. Stir to combine.
- Lay bacon strips out on parchment paper or a cutting board (if bacon is too long for air fryer basket, cut in half).
- Sprinkle paprika mixture over one side of bacon.
- Twist bacon and add to air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, or until bacon is done to your preference.
- Drain on paper towels, then enjoy.
Notes
- Add a pice of bread to the bottom part of the air fryer basket to keep the bacon from smoking up your air fryer. The bread will absorb the bacon grease.
- Test to see if the bacon will fit in your air fryer basket. Depending on the length of bacon, you may need to cut your bacon strips in half.
- All air fryers cook differently. You may need more or less time depending on your specific air fryer and the thickness of your bacon. Thin cut bacon may be ready around 6-8 minutes.
