1 Lightly spray the inside of the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of your air fryer basket. This will prevent the rendered bacon fat from smoking.
2 Lay the bacon in the basket, trying not to overlap them. Some slight overlapping is okay. Air fry the bacon for 5 minutes at 350˚F. Although it is not required , you can preheat your air fryer following the instruction manual.
3 Remove the basket from the air fryer and carefully flip the bacon, placing them back in without overlapping. At this point, you can sprinkle the brown sugar on top and drizzle a little Sriracha, if you’d like. Air fry it again for 5 minutes at 350°F.
4 Transfer the bacon onto a paper towel-lined plate and allow it to drain for a minute or two. It’s kind of hard for me to imagine you will have leftover bacon—it only makes 4 strips. Just eat it! If you do have a strip or two of leftover bacon, refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Did you love the recipe? Leave us some stars below!
