Easy Keto Pickled Bell Peppers

I can’t even believe how much we love these easy keto pickled bell peppers. They come together in just 15 minutes and are absolutely delicious!

We combine just a few simple yet flavorful ingredients to make these easy keto pickled bell peppers. I love making my own dill pickles and made a homemade brine for them. We’re making these peppers even easier by using dill pickle juice. You can serve these just as they are or can add them to all kinds of dishes! I hope you’ll enjoy these peppers as much as we do!

Let’s talk about our peppers and onions!

I love adding peppers and onions to all kinds of dishes as they add amazing flavor. So, when I had some extra peppers that I needed to use up, I thought pickling them with some onions would be a perfect choice. Fun fact for the day! Green peppers are peppers that are harvested early; but if left to grow, they change into red peppers. I used both green and red peppers for my peppers. Green peppers aren’t as sweet as red peppers, and the combination is one of my favorites for both their pretty color combination and how they taste together. Alternately, you can use any color or color combination of peppers for your pickled peppers. For the onion, I used a yellow onion, but you can substitute with a red or white onion if you’d prefer.

What other ingredients go into these easy keto pickled bell peppers?

When I make homemade dill pickles, I make a brine which gets heated on the stove. For my brine, I combine water, salt, and keto sugar, then heat until the salt is dissolved. Then I add vinegar and some seasonings, and often onions and garlic. We’re taking a shortcut with these pickled peppers by using dill pickle juice. I find all kinds of ways to use pickle juice, everything from adding it to egg salad to using it to make dressings. To add a little extra flavor, in addition to the pickle juice, we add black peppercorns, keto granulated sugar, and mustard seeds. These add great flavor and make this dish pretty as well. You can serve these pickled peppers after about 8 hours which allows the flavors to get absorbed into the peppers. I like to let mine set in the refrigerator for a day or two before serving.

What are some ways I can serve these easy keto pickled bell peppers?

You have lots of great options for serving these peppers. I love making charcuterie boards and relish trays, and these pickled peppers make a perfect addition to them. You can also top burgers, brats, keto sandwiches, and lettuce wraps with these peppers. They make a great topping for salads as well. You can top your keto tacos and fajitas with these peppers too! I diced some of these peppers and added them to tuna salad and this dish was a big hit at my house. You can also serve some of these peppers alongside any cooked meats or with keto casseroles. They can also be served with any kind of egg dish to add a nice splash of flavor and color!
