Description

Air Fryer Million Dollar Bacon (or Millionaire’s Bacon) tastes like a million bucks without the hefty price tag. This spicy, candied bacon is a flavorful treat!

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound bacon, thick cut
  • 6 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • Rub the mixture over the bacon. I am coating both sides.
  • Place your bacon into the air fryer basket, set the temperature to 400 degrees F, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway during the cooking process. Remove when it's fully cooked. For added flavor, you can brush on more maple syrup during the cooking process.
