Low Carb "Fried" Pickles
Description
This recipe starts with dill pickle chips drained and dried, then coated first in a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, and taco seasoning. After this coating, the pickles are dipped into a mixture of eggs, heavy cream, and water before returning to the cheese and almond flour mix for a second coating, ensuring a thick, crisp crust.
The coated pickle chips are placed on a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with non-stick coating or lined with parchment. They are broiled on high heat for 3 to 5 minutes per side until the coating turns golden brown and crispy. This method avoids the oil and mess of deep frying.
These pickles are tangy from the dill and sharp Parmesan with a satisfying crunch from the almond flour coating. They are best served immediately with a cooling dip like ranch dressing. The recipe suits low-carb and keto diets by substituting traditional breading with cheeses and nuts.

- 24 ounces dill pickles chips
- 2 egg

- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated

- Spread out the pickle chips on a paper towel.
- Dredge the pickle chips in the almond/cheese mixture, then dunk in the egg wash, and return to the cheese mixture for a final coating.
- Place the coated pickles on a foil-lined baking sheet, coated with non-stick cooking spray. (You can skip the foil and cooking spray and use parchment paper instead, if you prefer.)
- Broil for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Serve with ranch dressing or your dip of choice.
