So this one time I was watching Tik Tok…And I ended up buying a new air fryer. And trying bacon in the air fryer. And then twisting bacon before cooking it in the air fryer. Thank you TikTok. (GF, DF, soy free, nut free, FODMAP)

Notes
Twist each strip of bacon tightly to form a rope. Place the twisted bacon into the air fryer basket, making sure the bacon does not touch. Season your bacon with some pepper if desired. Cook your bacon in the air fryer at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.(See approximate cooking times in notes) Check bacon for desired crispness. Cook for an additional 1-3 minute intervals until bacon reaches it’s desired crispyness. Remove bacon from air fryer with tongs and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain any excess fat. Optional Oven Method: Place bacon on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Twist bacon into a rope and place on parchment paper. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, flipping the bacon half way through cooking time. Remove bacon from oven when desired crispyness is reached and with tongs move bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Serve. Cooking Time:(Approximate)
