In the past few years, fried pickles have become a trendy appetizer for a variety of chain restaurants. However, when you’re trying to be healthy, these mouth-puckering delights are not always an option.
Battered Pickles with Cajun seasoning.
This is where low-carb recipes team up with the fat-eliminating power of your air fryer.
So if you’re counting carbs but love fried finger foods from your local pub or bar & grill, these delicious low-carb fried pickles are a healthier choice without sacrificing the tastes you crave. Coated with gluten-free almond flour, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning, these tiny morsels are packed with salty, sour spice that will tempt you to have seconds.
The best part of all? This is a snack that won’t go straight to your midsection and is gluten-free. If you want to make it vegan too, try using aquafaba instead of eggs. I haven’t tried that yet but hope to soon. If you try it, leave a comment below!
