Paleo Fried Pickle Spears

These paleo fried pickle spears are gluten-free, low-carb, and paleo and clean eating approved. What more could you ask for in a delicious snack or appetizer?

I’m not going to lie. We made these at 10 PM on a Saturday night. The Saturday night before the Super Bowl to be exact. Scott just randomly had the idea to make these and they turned out REALLY good so now we are sharing the recipe!  Next up. Onion rings. We’ve made them a different way before but I think we will try this exact recipe next time!

P.S. Get our Super Bowl Meal Plan & Workout.

Down here in the south you can get anything fried. Fried pickles, fried Oreos, fried whatever you want. To be honest, I’ve never had anything unusual fried. I would rather just stick with my french fries BUT if I were to imagine what a friend pickle tastes like, this is it. 100%. So good.

Can I make fried pickle spears in advance? 

Unfortunately, while you could make this ahead of time, they do lose some of the texture when reheated. If you are strapped for time, I recommended breading them, laying them flat on a baking sheet, and flash freezing them. Then you can pop them into the oven the day you want to serve them.

While this method still requires you to cook them before serving, it will save some of that preparation time that would take away from guests or family time.

Best dipping sauce for fried pickles

Don’t forget to make the low-carb ranch dip – it’s a game-changer! You really will love making this recipe as it is easy, healthier than store-bought, and is the perfect dipping sauce for pickles.

If you like a bit of spice, you can mix in some diced jalapeno pepper or even a dash of sriracha! Just make sure to chill for a few hours before serving so it has the best possible flavor.

More Appetizer Recipe Ideas

Of course, alongside these fried pickle spears and ranch dip, you may want to serve some other appetizers. Whenever we host friends or family and have appetizers, I love serving a variety of foods. Since I know not everyone will enjoy the same things, it’s important to offer a good mix of foods. The list below has some of my favorites that you can mix and match your favorite items from the list below to create the ultimate appetizer buffet!
