Air Fryer Stuffed Pickles
Ingredients:
6 large pickles
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp ranch seasoning
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup turkey bacon bits
Instructions:
Prep the Pickles:
Slice the pickles in half lengthwise.
Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds, creating a hollow center.
Gently pat each half dry with a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture.
Mix the Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar, and turkey bacon bits.
Stir until everything is well blended and creamy.
Stuff the Pickles:
Fill each pickle half with the cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
Spread the filling evenly to the edges.
Air Fry:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange the stuffed pickles in a single layer in the basket, making sure they don’t overlap.
Air fry for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Cool & Serve:
Let the pickles cool for a minute before serving.
