Fried pickles are all the rage! The food trend sounds a bit weird, but it is true soul food. It’s worth trying!
Frying vegetables – that always works. Now it’s the turn of the pickles: In the USA, fried pickles have long been a popular snack for the heart and stomach. The hype after the crispy bite is slowly spilling over to Germany.
It’s that easy:
The fried pickles are not only super delicious but also very easy and quick to prepare and are sure to be eaten quickly.
To do this, cut the gherkin into slices like chips or into sticks (like French fries), season to taste, coat in breadcrumbs, and fry in hot fat until golden brown.
A spicy sauce should not be missing
Various sauces are suitable for dipping the crazy vegetarian snack. Whether sour cream, yogurt dip, ketchup, mayonnaise, honey-mustard sauce, horseradish, or guacamole: all dips are an exciting combination with fried pickles.
Salty, sweet, greasy, and spicy: everything your heart desires! It doesn’t just sound tempting, it’s also the perfect finger food for every party or a different, hearty snack to take home.
How healthy is the snack?
Fried vegetables are always better than chocolate, chips, or other unhealthy and processed snacks. However, the fried gherkins ultimately have a high-fat content and should not be consumed excessively.
Cucumbers are so healthy
Cucumbers in their raw form are incredibly healthy. They are very low in calories because they are 95 percent water and are not called “slim vegetables” for nothing. They are full of minerals such as potassium, iron, zinc, fluorine, and some vitamin C.
So if you fancy a low-calorie and healthy snack, you should grab raw cucumbers and dip them in a homemade herb quark, hummus, or guacamole, for example.
Cucumbers are also the perfect ingredient for smoothies, as they are rich in water and give the drink a refreshing aroma.
