Step 1

Start by patting your dill pickle slices dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is critical to achieving the perfect texture in the final product.

Step 2

Lay out your half-slices of bacon and lightly sprinkle them with your chosen BBQ seasoning. This will add a smoky, slightly spicy flavor that complements the bacon and pickles.

Step 3

Place two crackers on a cutting board, add the pickle in the center, and then wrap the crackers up with bacon.

Step 4

Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F (about 200°C) for a few minutes. This step helps ensure even cooking if your air fryer requires preheating.

Step 5

Place the bacon-wrapped pickle dippers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they're not touching too much. This promotes even airflow and cooking.

Step 6

Air fry the pickle dippers for about 10-12 minutes or until the bacon is crispy to your liking. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the pickles to ensure even crispiness.
