Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees F.
  • Mix the sugar (if using) with the paprika and gently rub it onto the bacon slices.
  • Place a small amount of water on the bottom of the air fryer and arrange the bacon slices in the air fryer in a single layer. It depends on the size of your air fryer, if needed but them in half or cooks in batches.

  • Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Clean the bottom of the air fryer with a paper towel, and repeat with the remaining slices.
