Steps

  1. 01Lay strips flat in the basket in a single layer. No overlap.
  2. 02No oil needed.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer.
Turkey bacon crisps differently than pork bacon. It goes from flexible to crispy to burnt in a much tighter window. Check it 2 minutes before the time on the food page. Once the edges darken, you have about 60 seconds before it's overcooked.
