Ingredients
- 1 cup dill pickle slices
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- ½ cup avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pickles
Drain your pickle slices and pat them dry with a paper towel. This step is crucial to ensuring the coating sticks properly.
Step 2: Make the Breading Mixture
In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Wash
In another bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream.
Step 4: Coat the Pickles
- Dip each pickle slice into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Next, dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to make the coating stick.
Step 5: Heat the Oil
- In a frying pan, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- If you don’t have a thermometer, test with a small drop of batter—if it sizzles, the oil is ready!
Step 6: Fry the Pickles
- Fry the coated pickles in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy
Serve warm with a keto-friendly dipping sauce like ranch, spicy mayo, or cheese sauce!
