Air fryer bacon twists are sending TikTok wild: 'Genius'
Air fryers are making headlines again with a viral recipe that's been hailed as "genius".
While many home cooks continue to push the limits of what can be air fried, one TikToker has taken home the bacon with her simple, yet effective new air fryer hack.
Sharing the recipe with her 66,700 followers, Jordan, AKA @jzeats, showed how easy it is to make a mouth-watering snack with just two ingredients and her air fryer bacon twists.
First, the home cook tightly twists rashers of bacon where she recommends using thin cuts to get the best results.
She then cleverly places a slice of white bread on the bottom of the air fryer base underneath the basket to absorb the grease from the bacon.

The next step is to pop the basket back in and line the raw bacon twists on the basket in a single layer.
"It’s ok if it isn’t perfectly straight,” she notes, as the bacon will tighten in size with the heat.
Fry at 176 degrees for 10-12 minutes et voila - crispy, salty, hot bacon twists.
People can't get enough of the simple recipe either.
"This was a very helpful and easy way to cook bacon," one wrote.
"No more burning me with bacon juice."
"Can’t go wrong with crispy bacon!" another added.
"Yes! So much better than the stove," a third said.
