Equipment

  • 1 Ai Fryer
  • 1 Silicone-Tipped Tong

Ingredients

  • 8 slices Turkey Bacon(regular or thick-cut)
  • Cooking spray (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 2–3 minutes.
  • Arrange the turkey bacon slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overlap the slices.
  • Air fry for 5 minutes.
  • Flip each slice using silicone-tipped tongs.
  • Cook for another 4–5 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness.
  • Let the bacon rest for 1 minute before serving, as it will continue to crisp slightly.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of the turkey bacon.
  • Thick-cut turkey bacon may need 1–2 extra minutes.
  • Thin slices may finish cooking a little sooner, so check them during the last minute.
  • A light coating of cooking spray is optional but can help create crispier edges.
  • Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking.
