Yes, I did it! These Keto Dill Pickle Halloumi Fries are the best! No, Seriously, the best!
If you know me, you know I love my halloumi. Halloumi is a semi-hard, unripened, brined cheese made from a mixture of goat’s and sheep’s milk, and sometimes also cow’s milk. It has a high melting point and so can easily be fried or grilled.
I love dill pickle so when I first tried Buster Rhinos dill pickle pork rinds, I knew I had to crush them and use to bread some halloumi. There is nothing better than a semi melted cheese, crispy coating and the taste of dill!
Check out the video how I made the halloumi fries and the full recipe down below.

Keto Dill Pickle Halloumi Fries
Ingredients
- 200 grams halloumi cheese slice halloumi lengthwise into 1 inch strips
- 4 oz crushed pork rind crumbs I used dill flavoured pork rinds
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 1 cup olive oil for frying, depending on your pan size you may need more or less
Instructions
- Pat your halloumi dry
- Cut your halloumi into 6 strips as in the video above
- Scramble 2 eggs in a bowl
- Crush the pork rinds, I used a blender, then place in a bowl
- Dip your halloumi stick in the egg first
- Coat in the crushed pork rinds
- Dip again in the egg
- Coat once again with the crushed pork rinds
- Place each on a dish with wax paper or parchment
- Use a shallow pan and fill with about 1 inch of olive oil
- Turn your stovetop element to medium/low
- Once hot enough, place a halloumi stick into the oil
- After 1 minute or so, use two forks to flip the halloumi and brown on each side.
- Brown on each side until golden brown.
- They will brown fast so keep an eye on them and flip before they burn
- When golden brown to your liking place on a dish lined with paper towel to soak the oil

Yes indeed. Any flavoured pork rinds will do.
I made these today and they are the best thing ever. I would assume I could use any flavoured pork rinds.
Awesome. I think any flavour of pork rinds would work.
I just got an order of assorted pork rinds from Buster Rhinos and I was wondering what to do with the dill pickle ones as they’re not my favourite. I think this will be a great way to use them! Thanks you for the recipe 🙂
