OMG.  an even better recipe for Keto Fried Pickles.  

Tonight, Ed modified his Roasted Cauliflower Recipe and came up with an amazing Keto Fried Pickle Recipe.  I watched him make them and have tried to write down about how much he was putting in of everything but I will be honest. He didn't measure anything except for the garlic powder and pink salt.

Ed's Keto Fried Pickles

One 5 oz package of Macs regular pork rinds, ground into crumbs
1/4 cup Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pink salt
1 package shredded Parmesan Cheese, divided
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 jar of no sugar added pickle slices
1 pkg real bacon, bacon bits

Preheat the oven to 425.

First step is to grind up the pork rinds.  You should end up with about 2 cups of crumbs (depending on how many pork rinds you eat while grinding them!) 😂 Pour the ground up rinds into a gallon ziplock bag. 

Before he bought this electric chopper, he would put the pork rinds into a ziplock bag and grind them using a rolling pin.  That works, too but the electric chopper grinds them up much finer.

Next, he added the Italian Seasoning. He just heavily sprinkled the pork rinds with it, maybe about 1/4 cup.

Add 1/2 tsp of Garlic Powder and 1/2 tsp of Pink Salt. 

Then he added 3 pinches of the shredded Parmesan Cheese, Maybe about half the package.  Save the rest of the cheese for later.

Zip the bag shut and mix the contents until well blended.

Lay your zero sugar pickle chips in a single layer on a cutting board lined with paper towels.  Place more paper towels on top and blot them dry. Then place the pickles in a 2nd gallon sized ziplock bag.

Pour about 1/4 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil over the pickles. 

Seal the bag and mix, trying to make sure each of the pickles get coated with the oil.

Once the pickles are well coated with oil, sprinkle the pork rind mixture over the pickles.  

Again, seal the bag and shake to coat the pickles with the pork rinds.

Line a baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with olive oil cooking spray.

Then spread the coated pickles in a single layer on the baking sheet.  

Sprinkle the pickles with the remaining shredded parmesan cheese.

Then top with the real bacon bits.

Bake at 425 for about 30 minutes.

As I said above, this recipe is much better than the recipe I posted the other day.  It does have more ingredients and requires a bit more work but the end result is worth it.
