Keto Szechuan Beef

⭐ 4.8/5 (2767) 🔥 500 cal

This Keto take on Szechuan Beef is pan-fried in a spicy and sticky low carb glaze, sweet with maple-flavored syrup and heat from fiery dried chilies. This makes a super quick and easy dinner option, ideal for weeknights when you are short on time. Our Keto Szechuan inspired beef provides a great source of protein, perfect served alongside your favorite Keto Chinese inspired sides. Traditionally Szechuan beef is prepared with a spicy sauce, fiery with the heat of Szechuan peppercorns. In the absence of the traditional peppercorns, we have created our own Keto-friendly interpretation of the sauce using a blend of aromatic spices and sweet and tangy condiments. The base of our low carb Szechuan inspired marinade consists of tamari sauce, maple-flavored syrup, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil and lime juice. We have whisked this together with Chinese five-spice, garlic, ginger, dried chili flakes, coriander and black pepper. The beef is coated in xanthan gum before pan-frying with the sauce to create a thick and golden glaze. Our delicious Keto Szechuan beef makes the perfect protein-rich base for your favorite Chinese inspired dinners. This makes a great main topped with freshly sliced scallions and sesame seeds, served with a side of Keto cauliflower rice. Alternatively, serve with low carb noodles or a medley of stir-fried Keto vegetables. Be sure to adjust your macros to account for any toppings or sides.

Low Carb Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken and Spinach w Pesto Macaroni

⭐ 4.8/5 (2912) 🔥 500 cal

Thin-sliced chicken breasts are heavily seasoned before topped with a butter spinach blend. Each little bundle of chicken and spinach is wrapped in a slice of prosciutto before baked in the oven. Each bite has the crispy crunch of prosciutto and the tenderness of buttery chicken and vegetables. Served on the side is a cup of pesto macaroni. Keto shirataki noodles are bathed in a creamy scratch-made pesto sauce. Gouda cheese shines through the sauce and is the perfect creamy side dish. Fill meal prep containers with the chicken and pesto macaroni for an easy Keto meal you can take on the go and microwave anywhere. The original pesto macaroni recipe is found under Carb Manager Keto Pesto Macaroni in the recipe library. If you aren able to make pesto sauce from scratch, you can still enjoy this recipe. Omit Step 4 and move on immediately to Step 5. Instead of adding homemade pesto to your roux, add a few spoonfuls of jarred pesto sauce from a grocery store. About cup of pesto per serving is appropriate. If your jarred pesto is particularly oily or loose, cut it down to cup per serving. Then, you can follow the remainder of the recipe as the directions state. There are other substitutions you can make to this recipe in lieu of other ingredients. If you don want to spend the higher price for prosciutto, wrap the chicken breasts in 1-2 slices of bacon. Avoid thick-sliced bacon because it s harder to wrap and may saturate the chicken with too much fat. Shirataki macaroni noodles may not be available to you. That s okay because all shirataki noodles have the same macros per serving, regardless of shape. Just substitute your noodles by weight and use any shape that is available to you. Jessica L.

The Best Low Carb Instant Pot Beef Machaca

⭐ 4.8/5 (1054) 🔥 400 cal

Mexican Beef Machaca is a flavorful dish made by seasoning beef with spices like chili powder and cumin. Instead of dehydrating the meat as in the traditional method, this recipe simmers the beef in a rich mixture of peppers, onions, tomatoes, and broth, creating a tender and delicious result. This low-carb version can be enjoyed in Keto tortillas, over cauliflower rice, or as a salad topping. It's also great with eggs for a hearty scramble. Feel free to customize the heat level by using jalapenos, serranos, or habaneros instead of poblanos, or add chipotle peppers for a smoky flavor. If you don't have an Instant Pot, a slow cooker can be used on low for 8 hours.

Keto Roasted Frozen Broccoli with Tahini Sauce

⭐ 4.8/5 (2997) 🔥 270 cal

This simple Keto recipe is a great way to utilize frozen broccoli. Our low carb side dish is prepared with frozen broccoli florets that are oven-roasted in oil and simply seasoned, then served with a tahini sauce with a hint of lemon and garlic. This makes a great side to accompany roasted or grilled meats. We have used frozen broccoli in our low carb side recipe for convenience and ease. Having some low carb vegetables to hand in your freezer can be a great kitchen staple, perfect for adding bulk and fiber to your Keto meals. You do not need to thaw the broccoli prior to cooking; it can simply be seasoned and cooked from frozen. You could also use alternative low carb vegetables if preferred, such as cauliflower. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe. This simple roasted broccoli is perfect served as a side to cooked meats, fish, or a plant based low carb main. The recipe would make a great addition to a Keto Sunday roast lunch served with whole cooked chicken or roasted lamb. It would also be a great addition to a Middle Eastern inspired meal, and you could even make extra tahini sauce to serve over your mains and additional sides.

Keto Orange Chicken Fried Rice Bowls

Keto Orange Chicken Fried Rice Bowls

⭐ 4.8/5 (2815) 🔥 550 cal

This Keto orange chicken recipe is perfect for meal prepping or a quick, delicious dinner. Make a large batch for meal prep or serve family-style. The recipe starts with a sweet Keto orange sauce poured over fried chicken nuggets. Serve the orange chicken over soy-sauce-fried cauliflower rice and stir-fried bok choy. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 5 days. For a heavier meal, add more stir-fried vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, bell pepper, or snow peas. The Keto version substitutes white rice with cauliflower rice fried in soy sauce, and the chicken is fried in egg whites instead of flour, using healthier frying oil. The orange sauce uses Keto-friendly substitutes for sugar, cornstarch, and orange flavor. For a stronger orange flavor, use zested orange peel instead of more juice. If you don have a wok, a non-stick frying pan works too. A wok requires less oil and heats food faster, but with a regular pan, you may need more oil for frying. Watch the chicken as it fries to achieve a dark-golden appearance.
