Cook turkey bacon the same way you would cook regular bacon.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you keep the air fryer from smoking while cooking bacon?<\/h3>\n<p>Bacon starts to smoke at 400\u00b0, so we keep the air-fryer temperature at 375\u00b0 to avoid any issues. If you don&#8217;t plan to save the bacon grease, you can add a piece of bread to the air fryer basket to absorb the grease. Just make sure it&#8217;s underneath the rack so it doesn&#8217;t interfere with the crisping process.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\">How much bacon can you air-fry at once?<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on the size of your air fryer and how much bacon you&#8217;re cooking, you may need to air-fry in batches.

It&#8217;s OK if the bacon is too frozen to separate into individual pieces; cook the bacon as a slab for the first three minutes. Then, separate the slices, spread them out on the air fryer rack and cook as directed above.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can you cook bacon in the air fryer?
