Bacon is loved for its smoked, salty flavour, and this comes out even more when the meat is cooked to a crisp.<\/p>\n
But when heated in a frying pan, this often requires extra fats and oils to enhance the texture.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why an air fryer is the perfect alternative for people who want to enjoy crunchy bacon without the added calories.<\/p>\n
Sharing her cooking method on the blog Liana\u2019s Kitchen, Liana explained: \u201cIf you love bacon as much as I do, you\u2019ll be happy to know that you can easily cook bacon in an air fryer!<\/p>\n
\u201cYour only limitation is how many rashers you can cook at a time!\u201d<\/p>\n
