Preheat air fryer to 350F / 180C.
Place bacon in the air fryer basket in a single layer. To cook all 12 slices you will need to fry the bacon in two batches.
Cook for 8-12 mins, turn the slices over half way through the cook time.
If you want your bacon less crispy, then cook it for a couple mins less.
Thicker cuts of bacon may need more time.

I used streaky smoked bacon, but you can select any style or cut of bacon you like. Try making some Applewood smoked bacon or even candied bacon for a sweet and salty treat (see more on this below).
After frying the first batch, clean out the drip tray to avoid smoking.
Air Fryer bacon is a perfect meal prep and make-ahead lunch solution. The mini chefs just looooove it when they find I've packed peanut butter, bacon and honey sandwiches in their lunch boxes.
