Ingredients for Bacon-Wrapped Pickles

Regular-cut bacon slices
Your favorite barbecue seasoning blend (e.g., Honey Hog)
Optional: Ranch dressing for dipping

How to Make Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Pickles

Prepare the Pickles
Begin by placing your pickle spears on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Allow them to sit for several minutes, then flip and let them dry for a few more minutes to ensure they’re as dry as possible.
Wrap with Bacon
Take a slice of regular-cut bacon and wrap it around each pickle spear, slightly overlapping the edges.
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle your favorite barbecue seasoning blend generously on all sides of the bacon.
I used Honey Hog, which has a hint of sweetness that pairs beautifully with the salty bacon.
Cook in the Air Fryer
Place the bacon-wrapped pickles in the Air Fryer basket, ensuring they’re spaced out for even cooking.
Set the Air Fryer to 400°F and cook for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispness.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Pickles with a side of ranch dressing for dipping, or enjoy them on their own.

Pro Tip: Allow the pickles to cool for several minutes before serving. Cooling enhances the texture of both the bacon and the pickles, making them even more enjoyable.

This recipe is simple, satisfying, and perfect for pickle lovers looking for a creative low-carb snack!
