Keto Pickle Poppers (low-carb, keto, primal)

Are you a fan of Jalapeño Poppers? If so you’re going to LOVE these keto-friendly Pickle Poppers! I love the tanginess of the pickles, it’s a nice change from spicy jalapeños making it great for kids as well as adults that don’t care for spicy food. These are sure to be a hit at your next gathering, Fourth of July celebrations and garden barbecues!

Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (conventional), or 155 °C/ 310 °F (fan assisted). Slice the pickles in half lengthwise and scoop out the middles using a melon baller.

  2. In a small bowl mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and garlic powder. Divide the cheese between each pickle pressing into the centers.

    Easy to make. Huge hit. Will be making these for family events again.

      Thank you Grace, I'm glad you enjoyed! 😊

    These look fun, but I hate cream cheese - and it hates me back. Is there anything I could use instead to keep the shredded cheese in place? Thanks!

  3. Ron Van Genderen

    Hi Lauren or Martha,
    I plan to make these, as they really look appetizing. I’m not much of a cook and probably should know this, but what kind of pickles should I use for this recipe?
    Thanks, Ron

    1. Martina @ KetoDietAuthor

      Hi Ron, ideally sugar-free dill pickled cucumbers but it depends on what you prefer, other herbs & spices are great too!
