Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Mix the beef mince with the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Form into small meatball-sized burger balls.
Cut the bacon rashers in half.
Thread onto skewers in this order: beef ball, bacon fold, onion, cheese cube, pepper.
Repeat until the skewer is loaded.
Lightly brush everything with olive oil.
Place the skewers into the air fryer basket.
Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through.
While they cook, mix together the BBQ sauce, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
Brush the skewers generously during the final 3 minutes.
Continue cooking until the glaze turns sticky and the bacon starts crisping around the edges.
Remove carefully and allow to rest for 1 minute.
Serve immediately with pickles and burger sauce for dipping.
