Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.  
O M G
This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.  

I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.  

I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo!

There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice.

When I think of fried foods, I think of fried chicken and bacon.  Well, when I think of food I generally think of bacon.  It's my favorite food.  Okay, it's one of my favorite foods.  Seriously, bacon is definitely in my top 5 foods... and maple brown sugar bacon is in my top 3. 

I LOVE BACON  *in my Oprah voice*
To cook bacon in your air fryer you'll need bacon, maple syrup, brown sugar and water.  You can use parchment paper if you like to minimize clean up.
1. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.  Mixture will be a little thick but you can thin it out to desired consistency by adding a little more maple syrup.
2.  Put a couple of tablespoons of water in the bottom of your air fryer.  Sounds odd but trust me this is a crucial step.
3. Set your air fryer to it's highest setting and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.  Mine goes to 390 degrees.
4.  Remove basket. *optional - you can place a piece of parchment paper at the bottom of the basket to minimize clean up.*
6.  Place up to 8 slices of bacon on the rack and slide basket back into air fryer.
7.  Brush maple brown sugar glaze over the bacon and close the air fryer.
8.  Cook for about 8-10 minutes or to desired crispness.
9.  Remove basket from air fryer.  Remove bacon from basket.  Let cool a bit and enjoy.

Bacon prepared in an air fryer tends to brown a little faster and may get a little burnt on the ends but it's STILL delicious.

Love my new Air Fryer! I can't wait to share my recipe for fried green tomatoes.

My daughter has one of these air fryers and loves using hers. Don't know if she has ever tried making bacon in hers. Will have to share this with her.
Jeanette said…
Oh my gosh this looks like heaven! I love bacon anyway and it sounds good to mix it in with some brown sugar and maple. I do not have an air fryer, but with something like this I might just have to buy one.
These look AMAZING! I love "candied" bacon but I've never made it. Definitely going to try this recipe.
Emily said…
I have never made bacon like this before. I know my husband would love an air fryer, I will have to share this with him. Thanks for the idea!

I haven't tried bacon in an air fryer before. We don't have one yet. Maybe we'll get one at some point because I do love my bacon!
Lisa said…
Oh, bacon in the air fryer. I never knew this could be done but I am doing this soon.
Unknown said…
Alright, now I want an air fryer just so that I can make bacon in it! Thank you for the idea!!
Amanda said…
This post is convincing me that I need an air fryer. I love bacon but I hate the mess it makes in my kitchen. An air fryer would definitely solve this problem, right?
I want an air fryer so badly! I don't eat meat anymore but when I did, I would have totally made bacon in it.
Carol Cassara said…
A lot of people are so happy with their air fryer and I think it's about time I bought one! It's really nice to see how many recipes you can make using an air fryer!
Cyn said…
What?????????? You can make bacon in an air fryer? I've been mulling over getting one for ages but this just may have sold me. It looks delicious!
Jeanine said…
Yum. We have had an air fryer for about 2 years now and use it basically all the time. I would love to do up some bacon in it, I haven't tried it yet and this looks and sounds delicious!
sandy n vyjay said…
We have found Air Frying a nice and healthy option. We have so many deep fried snacks in Indian cuisine, that an Air Frier is a godsend.
Pam said…
I have an air fryer and I really like it. This air fryer bacon looks yummy, I have never thought of making bacon in the air fryer.
Sara Welch said…
This bacon looks so good! I love maple brown sugar combinations.

Jenn Mitchell said…
I do not own an air fryer but this makes me want one. This looks like such an awesome and tasty way to make bacon!
Anosa Malanga said…

my partner and I have been trying for a baby for over two years now, We were going to a fertility clinic for about 5 months before somebody at baby center told us to contact this spell caster who is so powerful, We contacted him at this email; babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka , for him to help us, then we told him our problem, he told us that we will conceive once we follow his instructions ,but after two years of trying we were at a point where we were willing to try anything. And I'm glad we came to Priest Babaka, Because his pregnancy spell cast and herbal remedy help us, and I honestly believe him, and his gods really helped us as well, I am thankful for all he has done. contact him via email: babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka if you are trying to have a baby or want your lover back. he has powers to do it, he has done mine

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing.  The birds are singin'.  The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up.  So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound.  It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year.   Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach.   'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before.  Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada.  Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila.  The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings.  It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will r

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima
