Ingredients:
6 large pickles
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp ranch seasoning
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup turkey bacon bits (or regular bacon bits if preferred)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pickles
Slice the pickles in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a small spoon. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar cheese, and turkey bacon bits until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Stuff the Pickles
Spoon or pipe the cheese mixture into each hollowed-out pickle half, spreading it evenly to ensure a full, creamy filling.
Step 4: Air Fry the Pickles
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the stuffed pickles in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Let the stuffed pickles cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy them as-is, or dip them in your favorite sauce!
