Dill Pickle Deviled Eggs Recipe (Paleo, Whole30, Keto) (2024)

FAQs

Are pickles allowed on whole 30? ›

Yes, both pickles and bananas are allowed on Whole30. Yet if they are a potential trigger food for you (for instance, the sweetness of bananas sets off a craving for other treats or makes you want to binge on the fruit), then you may consider including them on your “don't eat” list.

With only 1 gram net carbs per serving, these keto deviled eggs are a perfect low carb snack or appetizer! These classic keto deviled eggs are easy to make, require just a handful of ingredients, and are super versatile. Combine them with different seasonings and toppings for more variety.

Because these contain no sugar (or vinegar, or added preservatives), they pass the Whole30 test, as do plenty of other pickle brands, from McClure's to Clausen's.

Pickles are one of those foods that go with everything. They're perfect for topping off a burger or sandwich, adding to a salad, or eating straight out of the jar! They're super easy to make and Paleo-friendly.

It's totally fine and safe to eat up to 6 eggs a day while on the keto diet. You can consume even more eggs per day occasionally, as long as you make sure that you eat your greens, healthy fats and proteins from other sources.

However, if you want to include more eggs in your daily diet, a rough goal of three eggs per day (whether alone or in other keto-friendly meals) is a great place to start.

Luckily, pickles are keto friendly, especially those that are of the dill pickle variety, as sugar is low. “Simply put, sweet pickles are made with sugar which will automatically push the carb count up,” says Hultin. “Dill or salt pickles don't have the added sugar and carbs, naturally,” she says.

Most vinegar (including white, red wine, balsamic, apple cider, and rice) and alcohol-based botanical extracts (like vanilla, lemon, or lavender) are allowed during your Whole30 program. (Just not malt-based vinegar or extracts, which will be clearly labeled as such, as they contain gluten.)

If you've never had pickled jalapenos before, they're of course spicy, but the heat is layered with tanginess from vinegar, saltiness from the brine, and just a little sweetness from granulated erythritol (this is a low carb pickle recipe, of course) Simply omit the sweetener to make these Whole30 compliant.

The Short Answer: Most market-purchased condiments are not allowed on Whole30 due to the presence of artificial sweeteners. However, most yellow mustard, hot sauce and vinegar are allowed.

Do pickles count as a vegetable? ›

The common pickle starts life as a raw cucumber. Through an ancient process now known as pickling, the cucumber is submerged in a brine of vinegar, salt and spices and allowed to ferment. Pickling changes the cucumber's flavor and nutrition but it is still categorized as a vegetable.
