1. Keto Egg Muffins
Whisk together eggs with your favorite low-carb veggies like spinach, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Add in some shredded cheese and cooked bacon or sausage. Pour the mixture into a greased muffin tin and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until set. These can be stored in the fridge and reheated for a quick breakfast.
2. Cauliflower Fried Rice
Grate a head of cauliflower or use pre-riced cauliflower. Sauté it in a pan with some oil, then add beaten eggs, soy sauce, and your choice of low-carb vegetables such as bell peppers, peas, and carrots. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the eggs are fully cooked. You can add cooked chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
3. Zucchini Noodles with Pesto and Chicken
Spiralize zucchini to create noodles. Sauté the zucchini noodles in a pan with a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Toss with store-bought or homemade pesto sauce and top with grilled chicken slices. This dish is fresh, light, and ready in under 20 minutes.
4. Keto Chicken Salad
Mix shredded cooked chicken with mayonnaise, a dash of mustard, finely chopped celery, and spices like salt, pepper, and paprika. You can also add chopped nuts or avocado for extra flavor and texture. Serve it on a bed of lettuce or in low-carb wraps.
5. Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus
Wrap bundles of 3-4 asparagus spears in a slice of bacon. Place the bundles on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. These make for a tasty side dish or snack.
6. Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken
Combine chopped cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, kalamata olives, and feta cheese in a bowl. Dress with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Top with slices of grilled chicken breast. This salad is light, refreshing, and full of flavor.
7. Keto Meatballs
Mix ground beef or turkey with almond flour, an egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve with low-carb marinara sauce for dipping.
8. Stuffed Bell Peppers
Cut the tops off bell peppers and remove the seeds. In a skillet, cook ground beef with cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, and seasonings like garlic, cumin, and paprika. Fill each bell pepper with the meat mixture, top with shredded cheese, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted.
