Ingredients
- 1 Jar pickles any variety you like
- 1 Package turkey bacon
- 1/4 cup Any Chipotle Mayo for dipping or mix mayo with 1-2 tsp sauce from a can of chipotles
Instructions
- Remove the pickles from the jar and drain any excess liquid.
- Since the recipe calls for half pickles, you can halve them lengthwise or keep them whole, depending on your preference.
- Take a slice of turkey bacon and wrap it around a pickle spear or half spear.
- For thicker pickles, you may want to use one and a half slices of bacon for better coverage.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
- Place the wrapped pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them for even cooking.
- Air fry for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Once the bacon is cooked through, remove the pickles from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
- Serve them warm with a dollop of Boar's Head Chipotle Gourmaise for dipping.
Notes
- For a little extra flavor, sprinkle the wrapped dill pickles with your favorite spices, sweet rub or bbq rub before air frying, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the bacon-wrapped pickles in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. You can bake in the oven on a baking sheet or sheet pan. Line with parchment paper for easy clean up. You can also cook on a wire rack with a pan below to collect the bacon grease. Cook time will vary.
- This bacon wrapped pickles recipe is easily doubled or tripled to serve a crowd.
