Fried pickleshave been my family's go-to appetizer at just about every restaurant we have ever been to. It is the one snack we can all agree on.

This recipe uses dill pickles, but you can use sweet pickles, bread and butter pickles, or even dill pickle spears to change it up. To make them a bit spicy, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or cajun seasoning to your almond flour mixture. To save on carbs, use a mixture of ⅛ cup almond flour and ⅛ cup parmesan cheese. You can also use ground pork rinds to get even lower in carbs.
