Main Ingredients
9 slices bacon
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Twist the bacon: Take each slice of bacon and twist it into a spiral shape to create a fun, crispy texture.
Arrange bacon in air fryer basket: Place the twisted bacon pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap for even cooking.
Cook the bacon: Air fry the twisted bacon at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes or until they reach your desired crispiness.
Drain excess grease: Once golden and crispy, remove the bacon from the air fryer and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess grease.
Cool and serve: Allow the twisted bacon to cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy immediately.
Notes
For extra crispy bacon, cook an additional 1-2 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
Use thick or regular cut bacon depending on your preference; cooking time may vary slightly.
Serve twisted bacon as a snack, appetizer, or a unique breakfast side.
Make sure not to overcrowd the basket for best results and even cooking.
