Bacon Wrapped Dill Pickles

There’s just something about salty bacon wrapped around a tangy dill pickle that makes it impossible to stop at one. These Bacon Wrapped Dill Pickles are crispy, juicy, and downright addictive — the ultimate snack you didn’t know you needed.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 10 Pieces

Ingredients

  • 10 Dill Pickle Spears
  • 10 slices Thin-Cut Bacon
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Smoked Paprika (optional, adds a BBQ vibe)
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Set to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack over a baking sheet (helps bacon crisp up).
  • Pat the pickles dry with paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. This helps avoid soggy bacon and a mushy texture.

  • Sprinkle garlic powder and smoked paprika (if using) over the pickle spears. (No need for extra salt — the bacon and pickles cover that.)

  • Wrap the pickles: Lay one bacon slice flat. Place a pickle spear at one end and roll tightly until wrapped. If needed, secure with a toothpick, but usually thin bacon clings well on its own.

  • Arrange on the prepared sheet seam-side down with a little bit of space between each one. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.

  • Bake 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the bacon is golden and crispy.

  • Let cool 5 minutes before serving. This allows the bacon to crisp fully and makes them easier to pick up. Serve them plain or with your favourite dipping sauce (see the post above for ideas!).

Notes

If you like extra crunch, broil for the last 2 minutes.
Leftovers keep up to 2 days in the fridge; reheat in the oven or air fryer for best crunch (never microwave).
