One of my favorite additions to just about any meal is pickled jalapeños! We’re taking these Sweet and Spicy Pickled Jalapeños to a whole new level. Typically these would be made with cups of refined sugar but since these are low-carb and keto friendly we’re switching the typical sugar out for some powdered Swerve.
I love this spicy + sweet combo, I could literally just eat them alone as a snack. They’re delicious on burgers, eggs, mixed into guacamole, or on salads!
Note: Sweetener can be adjusted to taste. Remove the seeds from the jalapeños if you don't like them too hot. Nutrition facts are estimated as some of the ingredients are only used for pickling (due to negligible effects on nutrition facts, I fully included them in the calculation).
