How to Make Keto Fried Pickles

Lay the pickle slices on a paper towel and cover with another paper towel to drain away any excess juice. As you can see, these are full pickle slices with ridges. Avoid smooth pickle slices, the coating is too thin to crisp properly.

To prepare the dipping mixtures, you’ll need three shallow bowls.

In one bowl measure the almond flour, franks seasoning mix (not liquid!), and salt. In the second bowl, combine the eggs and pickle juice, beating until well incorporated. Lastly, in the third bowl, combine the keto panko, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper, mixing well.
