Ingredients

  • 9 square cubes of watermelon, about 1.5-inches each (around 8-9 oz total)
  • 3 slices bacon

Instructions

  • Cut the bacon slices in thirds so that you have nine total pieces. Stretch out each piece a bit, then wrap each around a piece of watermelon. Press together the ends where the bacon crosses.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped watermelon in the air fryer basket, seam side down (i.e. place the side with the ends of the bacon face down in the air fryer basket).
  • Air fry at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp. Let cool for a few minutes before eating, as it will be hot. Dig in!

Notes

  • Use regular bacon for this recipe, not thick-cut bacon. Regular bacon wraps better and crisps up easier in the air fryer.
  • Feel free to add toothpicks to each if serving them at an event.
