Air Fried Pickle Spears are a healthier version of fried pickles and simple to make!

Background: These Air Fried Pickle Spears are a healthier version of a classic comfort food. They are incredibly simple to make and require very minimal ingredients. With the help of an air fryer, you’ll have an appetizer that nobody can put down. It’s a perfect recipe for parties and get-togethers. We like to serve them with our homemade ranch dressing for dipping.

  1. Use a paper towel and pat the pickle spears to remove excess moisture.
  2. Sprinkle pickle spears with ranch dressing seasoning.
  3. Use one slice of bacon to wrap each pickle spear.
  4. Place wrapped pickle spears in air fryer basket in single layer without overlapping or touching each other. They need space for the bacon to fry up nicely.
  5. Cook on high or 400 for 8 minutes, then flip pickle spears over and cook for an additional 8 minutes. If the bacon isn’t crispy enough for your liking, cook for additional 1-2 minute increments until you reach desired result.
  6. Serve with ranch dressing or preferred dipping sauce and enjoy!
