Air Fried Bacon A Tasty Treat

 Air fryer and bacon strips are a marriage made in heaven. The  heated air flowing around the strips makes for crunchy crackly pieces.The result is a mouthful of crispy goodness, to be eaten on their own or in  a sandwich or salad.

I recently discoverd this when I had the air fryer out and was looking to cook something hot and quick for lunch. Luckily I had Lightlife plant based bacon (excuse the syrup puddle on the package). This bacon is usually a chore to cook.It requires a griddle and either oil or plant butter.It's hard to get the pieces crisp.

That is until I discovred the strips can be put into the air fryer for eight minutes at 400 degrees Farenheit.

 First they';re sprayed with a cooking spray.I used Target's Good and Gather olive oil one They then just have to be flipped over at the halfway mark of four minutes. The end result?

Slices of crispy, salty goodness. These were good on their own and in a sandwich. I can just imagine a BLT with them or crumbled in a salad. I will also make them as a great side to a Just Egg spinach omelet. Keep in mind regular bacon also crisps up very well in an air fryer xcept the strips usually take ten to twelve minutes to cook at about the same degree 400 Farenheit.

Want the perfect match? Just cook any kind of bacon in an air fryer. The end product is a plate full of crispy, browned well cooked strips  that are just wonderful on their own.
