Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 4 oz of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 tbsp of ranch seasoning. Blend until smooth.
- Mix in 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika, stirring well.
- Cut large dill pickles in half lengthwise and scoop out the center to create a hollow space.
- Pat the insides of the pickles dry using paper towels.
- Fill each hollowed-out pickle half with the cheese mixture, ensuring filling is level.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes, spraying the basket with nonstick spray.
- Place stuffed pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway.
- Let pickles cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and crushed crackers.

Notes
Pat pickles dry completely to avoid sogginess. Use softened cream cheese for smooth filling. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for even crispiness. Cooking times may vary by model.
