If you are tired of standing over a stovetop in the morning, cooking bacon for breakfast, you are going to love this air fryer bacon recipe.

Yes, the air fryer isn’t just for french fries and chicken nuggets. Unlike the stovetop or oven, there’s no need to stand over the bacon while it cooks, freeing up time for other tasks. Just pop the bacon into air fryer while you get ready in the mornings, and the air fryer will take care of the rest.

You don’t even really need to flip the over, the air circulation should do all the work for you. And the best part? No greasy mess to clean up afterwards.

You can just wash off the bacon drippings and give the air fryer basket a quick wash (or put it in the dishwasher), and you’re done.

In addition, air frying bacon reduces the amount of oil and grease that is used in cooking. It’s no wonder that air frying bacon has become such a fav!
