Keto Lemon and Basil Pan Fried Olives
These juicy keto kalamata olives are pan fried with aromatic garlic, a hint of zesty lemon juice and tender fresh basil until lightly golden.
This is a great way to jazz up olives to create a satisfying and flavorful snack full of healthy fats.
Alternatively, they would make a great warm side dish to a Mediterranean inspired main served alongside fish, meat or simply added to a salad.
