There's something undeniably irresistible about the combination of bacon and crackers, especially when enhanced by the crispy magic of air frying. Air fryer bacon-wrapped crackers transform a simple snack into a deliciously savory indulgence that's perfect for any gathering. This recipe is a game-changer for parties or casual get-togethers, combining crunchy texture with the smoky flavor of bacon.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 box of crackers (Ritz or Club crackers)
12 slices of thick-cut bacon, cut in half
3/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare your crackers. If adding cheese, sprinkle a small amount on half of the crackers and create a cracker sandwich.
Take one half-slice of bacon and wrap it around each cracker. Secure the ends to prevent unraveling.
If using, sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika on top.
Place the wrapped crackers in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, checking for doneness until the bacon is crispy.
Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
