You can reheat stored bacon several ways, but I prefer to reheat stored bacon in the microwave for 10 seconds. You can reheat in the skillet for 1-2 minutes or back in the air fryer at 360 for 3-5 minutes.

FAQ.
Is bacon low carb?
It depends. Don’t just reach for ANY bacon. Yes, bacon is a protein, HOWEVER, it is crazy important to look at the nutrition label. Many companies add SUGAR and various flavors to give a sweet flavor to the bacon. I like to use Applegate, Hormel Natural, and store-brands (I price compare).
Is bacon keto friendly?
As long as you choose a PLAIN bacon (with no added sugar), bacon fits perfectly on a keto plan.
I thought bacon was bad for me?
1 slice of bacon is between 50-70 calories and 5 grams of fat. Go ahead and have a few slices! For those needing low sodium selections, be sure to check the label.
I don’t need to use oil in this recipe?
Nope!
