Homemade fried pickles are a Southern staple. Crisp dill pickle slices are breaded and deep fried until the exterior crust is crispy and the interior packs a flavor punch. Deep frying pickles isn’t always convenient or quick, so we prefer oven baked pickles instead. You’ll be hooked, too! Who wouldn’t love Keto Fried Pickles With Cheese?!

How Do I Make Fried Pickles Crispy?
The best way to make fried pickles crispy is to enjoy them immediately after baking. The longer they sit, the softer they become. If needed, you can re-heat them in the oven to crisp them back up.
How Do You Reheat Fried Pickled In The Oven?
Broiling on high for about 1-2 minutes per side should do it. Do not re-heat in the microwave. You won’t be pleased with the mushy results.

- Place dredged pickels in a single layer onto the cookie sheet.

- These "fried" pickles are delicious on their own or serve with some homemade Keto Ranch Dressing or Whole30 BBQ Sauce! You can even squirt some of your favorite hot sauce on the fried pickles, to really amp them up!
