Prep the Ingredients: Start by patting your dill pickles dry with a paper towel. This step is important as it helps the bacon stick to the pickle and crisps up better in the air fryer.

Wrap the Pickles: Take a strip of bacon and wrap it around a pickle, starting from one end and working your way to the other. Ensure the bacon overlaps slightly with each wrap so it covers the pickle completely.

Secure the Bacon: Use a soaked toothpick to secure the bacon at both ends. This will prevent it from unraveling during the cooking process.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Arrange the Pickles: Place the bacon-wrapped pickles into the air fryer basket, making sure they're not touching. You might need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Cook: Air fry the bacon-wrapped pickles for 10-12 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and fully cooked.

Serve: Carefully remove the hot pickles from the air fryer (they'll be hot!) and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as is, or with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.
