After skewered with a toothpick, each fried olive is topped with a salty prosciutto ribbon. Whether they’re Keto or not, guests will love a tray of this low-carb finger food. However, this recipe is easy enough to whip up a batch for yourself to enjoy throughout your week as a little snack. Since this Keto recipe is so simple, there’s plenty of room to add on other ingredients you enjoy. Suggestions are written below.

Adding More To The Recipe

Each toothpick has just one fried olive and one piece of prosciutto. There’s plenty of room on that toothpick to add other Keto ingredients that would complement the salty snack. There are many kinds of cheese that would complement the olive and thin-sliced meat such as gouda, feta, or mozzarella cheese. Add a fresh basil leaf or a small drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to cut the salty flavors. If you like spicy flavors, add a kick of heat to your snack by swapping plain pork rinds for hot pork rinds when breading the olives. Want a little more crunch to your snack? Stack a piece of cold pickle on top of the prosciutto.

Can I Substitute With Other Olives?

Olives are so low in carbs, they’re one of the best snacks you can have on the Keto diet without still feeling hungry after. There are endless varieties and brands of green olives, so choose one that you enjoy most. This is a surprisingly great recipe to showcase those pricey olives you’ve been letting marinate in the back of the refrigerator. But canned or jarred olives work just as well. Don’t like green olives? Purple or Kalamata olives can be easily substituted!
