Ingredients
- 1 pack of Morrisons British unsmoked or smoked back bacon (6-8 rashers)
- A little twist of black pepper (if you fancy it)
Method
Step 1
Start by laying your bacon rashers in the air fryer basket. It is fine if they overlap just a tiny bit as they will shrink a little as they cook, but try to keep them in a single layer if you can so the air can get all the way around.Step 2
If you like a bit of a kick, now is the time to add a tiny sprinkle of black pepper over the top.Step 3
Slide the basket in and set your air fryer to 190°C. For standard rashers, 8 minutes usually does the trick for a lovely golden finish. If you like yours so crispy it practically snaps, you might want to give it another couple of minutes.Step 4
There is no need to flip them halfway through as the air circulates beautifully, but you can always have a quick peek to make sure they are browning just how you like them.Step 5
Once they are done, lift them out with some tongs and pop them onto a piece of kitchen paper to absorb excess fat. This helps them stay extra crunchy.
