Instructions

Turn the Ninja Foodi Grill on.
Press air crisp function. Set to 350 degrees for 8-14 minutes based on your preferred bacon and crispiness.
Regular Cut Bacon: Cook for 8-10 minutes
Thick Cut Bacon: Cook for 9-11 minutes
Extra Thick Cut Bacon: Cook for 11-14 minutes
Push the START button. The Ninja Foodi Grill will start to preheat.
While the Ninja Foodi Grill is preheating, place the slices of bacon into the air crisp basket. The bacon can be touching but should not be stacked on top of each other.
Once the Ninja Foodi Grill has finished preheating and says ADD FOOD, open the lid and place the crisping basked with the bacon into the Ninja Foodi Grill.
When the Ninja Foodi Grill says FLIP FOOD (about halfway through the full cook time) open the lid and check on the doneness of the bacon. You don't actually need to flip the bacon.
When the cooking time is complete, open the lid remove the bacon and place it onto a napkin-lined plate.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Don't flip the bacon.

Yes- you read that right! When you air fry bacon, you don't need to flip it..ever. What? Yes, it's true. Because the air crisping basket has holes throughout it, the air gets underneath the bacon and cooks it from all sides at the same time.

What type of bacon can be air-fried?

Any type and thickness of bacon can be air-fried. Cooking times will vary based on the type and thickness of the bacon. Keep an eye on it to make sure that it is cooked to your liking.

What do you do with the bacon grease?

I save all of my bacon grease in a mason jar in the refrigerator. After the bacon has been cooked, let the bacon grease cool for a few minutes and then strain (optional) and pour into a mason jar. Tightly close the lid and refrigerate until ready to use. Use the bacon grease to cook eggs, steaks, Brussels sprouts, or anything that you want to add balcony delicious flavor to. Use instead of butter or oil.
