This straightforward recipe uses the power of your Ninja appliance to create bacon that’s not just cooked but, as the name suggests, extremely crisp and deliciously golden.

I remember the first time I tried cooking bacon using my Ninja. Previously, I was trapped in the old cycle of pan-frying, which left my kitchen greasy and my hands smelling like a butcher’s shop. But with Ninja Crispi Bacon, I get that delightful smell without the mess. Just picture it: the sizzling sound as the bacon cooks, the mouthwatering aroma filling the air, and the anticipation as you prepare to bite into that beautifully crunchy piece of heaven.

Ingredients You’ll Need

6 slices bacon: Go for a good quality bacon! The freshness really elevates the flavor. Thick-cut bacon is great for an extra hearty bite, while standard cuts work perfectly for that classic bacon crispiness. If you’re looking for alternatives, turkey bacon or plant-based options are delicious swaps too.

How to Make Ninja Crispi Bacon

Place the Bacon: Lay the 6 slices of bacon flat in the Ninja Crispi basket, ensuring that none overlap. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking, so give those slices enough space to breathe.
Select Cooking Mode: Choose the Max Crisp setting on your Ninja. This setting ensures the bacon reaches its potential crispy glory in just 7 minutes.
Check for Crispiness: After 7 minutes, peek into the basket and see if the bacon has reached your desired level of crispiness. If you like it even crispier, give it another minute.
Remove the Bacon: Using tongs, carefully take the bacon out and let it rest on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess grease, making it even more enjoyable.
Let It Cool: Allow the bacon to rest for about a minute before digging in. Believe it or not, it’ll crisp up just a little more as it cools!

Storing & Reheating

To store your leftover Ninja Crispi Bacon, keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 hours. For longer storage, move it to the fridge where it will stay fresh for up to a week. If you want to extend its life even more, freeze it for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy leftovers, simply reheat them in the Ninja for a few minutes until warmed through. Keep in mind that the texture may change slightly, but a quick reheat will bring some crispness back!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Even Cooking: When laying out the strips, avoid crowding for optimal crispiness. Cooking in batches is a good strategy if you’re making more than six slices.
Adjusting Cook Time: Remember that the thickness of your bacon can affect cook time. Thicker slices could require a little longer, while thinner cuts might cook faster.
Flavor Boost: If you’re feeling adventurous, try seasoning your bacon lightly with pepper or a dash of paprika before cooking for an extra flavor kick.
Perfecting Crispness: If you’re shaking things up with alternative bacon types, monitor closely, as cooking times can vary.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen bacon for this recipe?

Absolutely! Just make sure to separate the slices as best you can while they’re still somewhat frozen. You might need to add a minute or two to the cooking time if they’re really solid.

How do I get my bacon to be extra crispy?

If you’re looking for ultra-crispy bacon, consider extending the cooking time slightly. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning, and remember that letting it rest will help enhance that crispiness!

Is the cooking time the same for different types of bacon?

Not necessarily! Turkey or plant-based bacon may require different cooking times. It’s always best to check for doneness as you go.

Can I cook more than 6 slices of bacon at once?

While you can technically fit more bacon in the Ninja, it’s best to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. This allows each slice to get that perfect crispiness you want!
