Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 10–12 firm dill pickle spears
  • 5–6 bacon strips (regular or thick-cut)
  • Toothpicks (as needed for securing bacon)

Optional Seasonings

  • Garlic powder (to taste)
  • Smoked paprika (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Dipping Sauces

  • Ranch dressing
  • Spicy mayo
  • Honey mustard

Optional Variations

  • Shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese (for cheesy twist)
  • Cayenne pepper or hot sauce (for spicy kick)
  • Turkey bacon as alternative
  • Tempeh or plant-based bacon alternatives for vegan version
  • Breadcrumbs (for extra crunch coating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pickles and Bacon: Drain the dill pickle spears well to remove all excess moisture to ensure the bacon crisps properly. Cut each bacon strip in half to create manageable lengths that will wrap around each pickle spear.
  2. Wrap the Pickles with Bacon: Wrap each pickle spear tightly with a half strip of bacon, overlapping the edges slightly to hold the bacon in place during cooking. Secure each wrapped pickle with a toothpick through the center.
  3. Seasoning (Optional): Sprinkle your choice of seasonings such as garlic powder, smoked paprika, or black pepper evenly over the bacon-wrapped pickles to enhance the flavor.
  4. Bake Until Crispy: Place the bacon wrapped pickle fries on a lined baking sheet (or on a wire rack for better crispiness) and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking to ensure all sides crisp evenly. Watch carefully near the end to prevent burning.
  5. Serve Immediately: Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces for a perfect snack experience.

Notes

  • Choose firm, fresh dill pickles to maintain a satisfying crunch and avoid sogginess during baking.
  • Thoroughly pat pickles dry before wrapping to help the bacon crisp up nicely.
  • Use toothpicks to hold bacon securely in place and maintain the shape of the fries.
  • Keep a close eye on baking time as oven temperatures vary; check around 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  • Baking on a wire rack allows fat to drip away and yields even crispier bacon.
  • Reheat leftovers in an oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving which makes bacon soggy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze in single layers for up to one month.
