Description

Crispy strips in under 10 minutes. The crisper plate lifts the bacon above the rendered fat, so it crisps instead of frying.

Ingredients 

  • 4 strips bacon, halved crosswise
  • Optional: coarse black pepper, brown sugar, or maple syrup

Instructions

  • Place the crisper plate flat inside the container. If using the 4-qt, seat the adapter and lock in the PowerPod.
  • Cut bacon strips in half crosswise so they lie flat.
  • Arrange in a single layer on the crisper plate, leaving space between pieces.
  • Select Air Fry. Cook 6–8 minutes for thin-cut, 8–10 for regular, 10–13 for thick-cut.
  • Check at the low end of the range. Lifting the PowerPod pauses cooking.
  • Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Bacon firms as it cools.

Equipment

  • Ninja Crispi Air Fryer
  • Tongs

Notes

Don't use Max Crisp — too aggressive for a fat-heavy food, and it smokes. Cool the rendered fat before pouring it into a jar; save it for Brussels sprouts. Overcrowding is the main cause of smoke.
