Air fryer twisted bacon comes out with a perfect crisp, but also has just the right amount of softness in the curls. This new trend is definitely a fun way to make bacon, and now we can share how it’s done in the air fryer.

Twisted Bacon is all over the internet. The first video looks to be from Abby Durlewanger, the creator behind the @houseofketo TikTok account, so we have to thank her for starting this fun trend.
Although she bakes the bacon in a traditional oven, we have to take it one step further and cook it in the air fryer because, well, we love our air fryer!
Not only that, but this makes the perfect side to serve with our air fryer pancakes.
I love making bacon in my Cosori 5.8 Quart and my Dash 2 Quart air fryers. The bacon comes out so perfect and crispy. Because of this, making the twisted bacon in anything other than my air fryer, wasn’t even an option.

What you need to make Twisted Bacon in the Air Fryer
Besides your air fryer, you really only need bacon. I like using air fryer parchment paper with holes, only because it makes for an easier clean up. But you absolutely don’t need it.
If you have a tray air fryer, you will need a small baking sheet with rimmed edges. The last thing you want to happen is for the grease to drip over the pan edges.
