- Place the beef bacon strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry:
- Cook the beef bacon in the air fryer for 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bacon and your desired level of crispiness. Flip the bacon halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
- Check for Crispiness:
- Keep an eye on the bacon in the last few minutes of cooking to prevent overcooking. The bacon should be golden brown and crispy.
- Drain Excess Fat (Optional):
- If there’s excess fat in the air fryer basket after cooking, carefully remove the bacon and drain it on a paper towel to absorb any excess fat.
- Serve:
- Once the beef bacon is crispy, remove it from the air fryer and serve immediately.
- Enjoy:
- Enjoy your crispy beef bacon as a standalone snack, crumbled on salads, or as a side with breakfast dishes.
Tips:
- Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer model and the thickness of the bacon.
- Experiment with different seasoning options such as black pepper or a sprinkle of brown sugar before air frying for added flavor.
- Keep in mind that beef bacon tends to be leaner than pork bacon, so it may cook faster.
Air frying is a convenient method for achieving crispy bacon without the need for excessive oil. Adjust the cooking time to suit your preferences and enjoy the delicious results!
