Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 slices pork bacon, regular thickness
  • 1 slice white bread
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. Place a slice of bread on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease later.
  2. Separate the bacon strips and gently twist each strip into a loose curl.
  3. Arrange the twisted bacon in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring space between pieces.
  4. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 8 minutes.
  5. Continue air frying for another 1-3 minutes, or until the bacon reaches desired crispiness.
  6. Transfer the crispy bacon to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  7. Discard the bread slice used for absorption.

Notes

- Use thick-cut bacon for an extra crunchy texture.
- Pair with scrambled eggs or avocado toast for a complete meal.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
