\"Pickles don’t need to only be a garnish on your Super Bowl spread or as a fixing on a burger or sandwich,\" David van Alphen, founder of SuckerPunch Gourmet reminded. \"My favorite way to serve pickles on game day is to fry them up in a batter so they’re nice and crunchy. If you’re being extra cautious about sharing food this Sunday, personal-sized pickle snack packs are a great way to go, too. They’re savory and salty like potato chips, but without the carbs.\"

Serves: 12

Ingredients
1 (13.8-ounce) refrigerated pizza dough
1 teaspoon olive oil

Garlic powder, to taste
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
30 Hormel Pepperoni

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out refrigerated pizza dough onto lightly floured surface. Roll into 9x12-inch rectangle. Brush top lightly with olive oil.

Using fork, poke multiple indents into the surface of dough to prevent bubbling. Spread pizza sauce on top of dough. Sprinkle lightly with basil and garlic powder, to taste. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over sauce. Top cheese with pepperoni slices. Carefully roll dough into long, tight log, starting at the long side. Place log on prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Refrigerate 25 minutes.

So You Want to Watch and Eat Outside?

Finally, for folks planning an outdoor spread, Tamarkin said \"skip warm foods altogether. Go for things that need to be kept cold, like guacamole, oysters, and lots of beer.\"
