Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (that’s 200°C) for about 3–5 minutes, if required for your model.
Take each slice of bacon and twist it into a spiral. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just a nice twisty shape that will crisp up beautifully.
Arrange the twisted strips in your air fryer basket in a single layer. Try not to overcrowd them so they crisp up evenly (cook in batches if needed!).
Air fry at 400°F for about 5 minutes, or until they’re sizzling and crisped to your liking. Keep an eye on them since cook times can vary based on thickness.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any extra grease. Let them rest for a few minutes—they’ll crisp up a bit more as they cool.
Serve and enjoy! Perfect for brunch spreads, snacking, or just because.
