Description

Instant Pot Air Fryer Bacon -- The Instant Pot air fryer is a great way to make bacon in minutes! Not to mention, it's fast and easy – what more could you ask for? Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast dish or something savory and delightful to add to your lunch or dinner menu, this recipe will surely satisfy you!

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound bacon

Instructions

  • Prepare the Instant Pot: Ensure your Instant Pot is clean and dry. Place the Instant Pot air fryer lid on top of the Instant Pot and make sure it's securely in place.
  • Arrange the Bacon: Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the air fryer basket. You can place as many bacon slices as the basket can comfortably hold without overlapping.
  • Set the Temperature and Time: Close the air fryer lid and set the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the bacon:
  • For thin-sliced bacon: 8-10 minutes
  • For thick-sliced bacon: 12-14 minutes
  • Start the Air Frying: Press the "Start" button to begin air frying the bacon. The Instant Pot air fryer lid will circulate hot air around the bacon, cooking it to crispy perfection.
  • Flip the Bacon (Optional): If you prefer even crispiness on both sides, you can flip the bacon halfway through the cooking time. However, the air fryer lid usually provides consistent results without flipping.
  • Check for Crispiness: After the cooking time is complete, open the air fryer lid and check the bacon for your desired level of crispiness. If you want it crispier, you can add a few more minutes of cooking time.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Once the bacon is perfectly crispy, carefully remove the air fryer basket from the Instant Pot. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the bacon to cool for a minute or two before serving. Now, you can enjoy irresistibly crispy bacon straight from your Instant Pot air fryer!
