The best keto pickles I ever eat were the ones my friend made a while back.
I was surprised by how tangy and tasty they were, and I loved the fact that they weren’t too sweet.
When I asked my friend for the keto pickle recipe- I was surprised by how easy it was! All you need is a cucumber, some white vinegar, spices – and patience.
These low carb pickles are ready in just 24 hours. That’s why I like this keto pickle recipe so much. Easy, and the taste is just perfect.

👨🍳 Keto Pickle Recipe Ingredients
To make the keto pickles you will need the following ingredients:
1 or 2 Cucumbers
1/2 cup Water
1/2 cup Distilled White Vinegar
3 sprigs Dill
1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
1 clove of Garlic – smashed
1 teaspoon Peppercorns
🥒 How To Make Low Carb Pickles
This keto pickle recipe is very simple. Just follow these steps:
Step 1
Cut the cucumbers into vertical quarters (or smaller pieces). I recommend removing the ends.
Step 2
Add water, salt, vinegar, dill, garlic, and peppercorns to the jar. Then, fill the jar with cucumbers. Make sure they are covered completely.
Step 3
Leave in the refrigerator for 24 hours. And then- serve, and enjoy these delicious low carb pickles.
Storage
These no carb pickles are so tasty, that it’s unlikely many of them will actually make it to storage. But, if you have any leftovers, they’ll last for at least 2 weeks in the fridge.
Salt
Different types of salt yield different low carb sweet pickles. In this recipe, I am using Kosher salt, which is my “standard” for pickling.
You can try and make these keto sweet pickles with table salt if you don’t have Kosher salt. Just use 3/4 teaspoons instead of a full one.
Choosing The Right Cucumbers
These keto dill pickles can be made from any sort of cucumber, but we prefer to use English cucumbers.
I traveled to many countries and noticed that in some, the cucumbers are very different from what we have in America.
There are so many sorts and sizes of cucumbers, and their taste also differs a lot. But still, for this keto pickles recipe- you can use any cucumber you like or have at hand.
Serve Them With These Dishes
Keto homemade pickles can be served as a side dish or a condiment to many keto-friendly dishes. Here are some of our favorites:
Keto Chicken Nuggets– These nuggets look and taste as if they came from a real fast food restaurant, but they are MUCH lower in carbs and calories.
Keto Ham Steak– this recipe is very good. I make ham steaks on regular basis, and these keto refrigerator pickles go well with them.
Your Questions Answered
Can I Use Dried Dill Instead?
I found that fresh dill works best in this recipe, however if you don’t have any on hand, you can definitely use dried dill.
I would recommend using 1 tablespoon of dried dill for this recipe.
Can I Reuse The Brine?
Yes, you can reuse the brine for your next batch of keto pickles, but you probably won’t notice much of a difference in flavor.
Can You Use Other Vegetables?
You sure can. Try this recipe with onions, carrots, or any other vegetable you like. The results may vary, but most likely they’ll be just as delicious.
