How To Make Air Fryer Brown Sugar Candied Bacon

Start by preheating your air fryer to 390 degrees F, air fryer setting, for at least 5 minutes. Then rub the bacon with the brown sugar, and then season with the black pepper (optional)

Set the bacon into the air fryer basket and air fry for 4 minutes, then flip, and air fry for another 4 minutes. When you flip, add more brown sugar to the other side.

Tips for Making Candied Bacon

• The exact time of your bacon will depend on a few factors, including what air fryer you own, and how thick your bacon is. I have made this with the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, and other Air Fryer Basket and Air Fryer Oven Models. The recipe will remain the same.
• The cook time will depend on how thick your bacon is, and how crunchy you want it. We all like our bacon done differently. Cook the bacon until you are satisfied with the way the bacon is done.
• You can line your basket with either parchment paper, or foil, to help make clean up easier.

Why Should I Use An Air Fryer?

The air fryer is the perfect place to make any bacon. The truth is as the hot air spins around the bacon, and it perfectly crisps it up.

There is nothing better than Air Fryer Bacon! Nothing!
