We love these pickles!
My family gobbled these right up! These fried pickles are the perfect low carb, briny snack. They are a must-try air fryer recipe idea that I know your family will enjoy!
These were so wonderful!! Air Fryer Magic!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
YUM. Now I have a reason to get an air fryer 🙂
Yay! 😀
Just made these so good
Woohoo! Glad to hear how yummy they turned out!
We just made two batches of these wonderful pickles!!! My husband doesn’t even know that they are actually healthy for him. They are extremely good. Need to come up with a keto friendly horseradish dip for them!
Yay! Great news-thanks for sharing!
What do you use to grease the air fryer with?
I like to use coconut oil or olive oil in a hand held sprayer.
These look really yummy but I’m wondering about the quantity. Even with the XL models, it doesn’t seem like you can make that much of anything at a given time. Is it normal to have to make several batches when feeding a family of 5?
Yes, You will need to do a few batches when making multiple servings. You could heat your oven to 225-degrees to keep them warm as you cook the additional batches! Hoping that helps!
So so yummy! And easy to make🙌🙌 I used hot pickles from Trader Joe’s and a spray coconut oil.
Thanks for sharing, I’m so happy!
Oh yay and that sounds delicious 😋
Such a good idea! Anyone have any ideas for making this dairy-free?
I would just replace the parm cheese by using more rinds!
Would these work in a deep fryer?
Yes I believe so! Let us know how it works!
Do you think pressures dill pickles would work? They’re about 1/4 inch. Thank you they look yummy😊
Ya I think those sound good 👍
Can the almond flour be substituted with either regular or coconut flour? Would Panko breadcrumbs work in place of pork rinds? Thanks!
Panko wouldn’t be considered Keto like pork rinds. You can try almond flour – I think it’d be similar 👍
Is the serving 4 whole pickles, sliced? Or 4 slices of a pickle?
Hi there! The serving size is 4 pickle slices.
I dont have an air fryer.. could you do these in an oven?
Yes! I bet you could bake them in the oven on a baking sheet. Let us know how they turn out if you decide to give it a try!
4 slices of pickles.is.really 245 calories?
Thanks for asking, Paul! We’ll be sure to check that again!
Hello again! We did recheck those details and they have been updated! Thanks SO much for bringing that to our attention! 😊
What air fryer do you all like? Looking for something that is easy to clean after use also. Thanks for your input.
