Homemade "Fried" Pickles

This recipe caught my eye because I love getting those fried pickle appetizers at restaurants. They are usually a little pricey though, so I don't like that. These "fried" pickles might actually be a little healthier than the ones at restaurants too... they are actually not fried, they are made in the oven without all the grease. Here is a link to the original blog containing this recipe.
