Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 10 minutes | Total: 25 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: You can prep the pickles ahead of time, just fry them right before serving.

Steps to Make It

1. Start by draining the dill pickle spears and patting them dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy when fried. You want them dry to avoid sogginess.
2. In a bowl, mix the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. The aroma of the spices will get your taste buds tingling.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg until frothy. This will help the coating stick to the pickles. It should look smooth and slightly bubbly.
4. Take each pickle spear, dip it into the egg, and then roll it in the almond flour mixture. Make sure each spear is well-coated for that perfect crunch.
5. Wrap each coated pickle spear with half a slice of bacon. The bacon adds a smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with the pickles. Secure it with a toothpick if needed.
6. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the bacon-wrapped pickles. Fry them until the bacon is crispy and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
7. Turn the pickles occasionally to ensure even cooking. They'll sizzle and smell amazing as they cook. You’ll know they’re done when the bacon is crispy and the pickles are heated through.
8. Remove the pickles from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. This keeps them crispy and not greasy.
9. Serve these delicious Bacon Pickle Fries warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing or spicy mayo works great!

Make It Perfect

• For extra crunch, try double coating the pickles by dipping them in egg and flour mixture twice.
• If you want to bake them instead, preheat the oven to 400°F and bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid greasy pickles.

Mix It Up

• Add some cayenne pepper to the flour mixture for a spicy kick.
• Try using different types of pickles, like spicy or sweet, for a unique flavor.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
• Pair with a cold beer or sparkling water for a refreshing contrast.
