This green goddess snack dip is a healthy and flavorful plant-based Keto snack that's quick to make. It's packed with B vitamins, magnesium, and healthy fats. Crunchy cabbage, cucumber, and green onion are dressed in a bright green goddess sauce made in minutes in the blender. Enjoy it with Keto crackers, celery sticks, bell pepper sticks, or broccoli florets. Marinating the dip for an hour or overnight enhances the flavor as the sauce breaks down the proteins in the cabbage. For a nut-free version, substitute walnuts with golden flax seeds (1 tablespoon per ounce of walnuts). Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor and a boost of B vitamins.
This delicious vegetarian Keto recipe offers all the flavor of a halloumi burger while minimizing carbs. Open-faced and low-carb, it uses gem lettuce leaves as the base for layered toppings: tomato, avocado, crispy onions, and pan-fried halloumi. A zesty tahini dressing is drizzled on top. It 's a simple way to enjoy low-carb burgers for lunch or dinner. You can customize your Keto fillings and choose a low-carb 'bun,' such as a traditional burger bun or a quick lettuce wrap. Lightly grilled portobello mushroom caps are another great option. This recipe serves the burger toppings on a lettuce leaf, but you can add another leaf or use your favorite Keto burger bun. Adjust macros to account for any recipe changes. Halloumi is a flavorful, firm choice that fries perfectly. Most halloumi is vegetarian and free from rennet, but check the brand. For cheese alternatives, paneer or queso blanco are suitable due to their high melting points. Fry them until golden, just like halloumi.
Satisfy your sweet and salty cravings with these easy dark chocolate treats! Each chocolate drop is topped with pecan halves, crunchy pepitas, and salty sunflower seeds.
My Italian family instilled in me a love for food and cooking. As a child, I eagerly helped my grandfather boil pasta, prepare marinara sauce, and roll meatballs. Anything with olive oil, tomatoes, and cheese captivated me. I'm grateful that a low-carb diet allows me to continue savoring my favorite Italian flavors! This Italian Chicken Bake combines artichokes, spinach, chicken, and cheese for a satisfying and delicious lunch or dinner. Feel free to substitute ground chicken or turkey for the chicken tenderloins, or kale for the spinach if you prefer (I've used lacinato kale with success). This dish freezes well and is easily scalable, making it perfect for weekend meal prep! --Priscilla C.

This plant-based Keto dinner recipe is a fantastic addition to your meal prep rotation. These stuffed peppers are packed with a variety of vegetables, making them a complete and satisfying meal. The recipe starts with brightly colored bell peppers that are boiled until soft, allowing them to hold a generous amount of filling. The plant-based filling consists of zucchini, onion, cauliflower, cabbage, and mushrooms, all seasoned to perfection in a large pan. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil adds richness and enhances the flavor of the filling. Toppings like hemp seeds and parsley provide a finishing touch, but feel free to experiment with sunflower seeds, crushed walnuts, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, or nutritional yeast. While the color of the bell peppers can slightly affect their carb content (lighter colors being sweeter), all bell peppers are suitable for the Keto diet. Don't hesitate to substitute or add more low-carb vegetables to the filling based on your preferences. For a crunchy texture, consider mixing in fresh shredded lettuce or chopped spinach. Thin-sliced celery and riced broccoli are also great options. If you're looking for side dish ideas for your plant-based Keto diet, keep in mind that this dish is quite filling on its own. Alternatively, you can try pairing it with some marinated tofu.

This Keto zucchini bread, enriched with feta, olives, and oregano, offers a delightful sharing experience. Requiring minimal effort, this impactful Keto bread is perfect for lunches, picnics, or afternoon snacks. Ensure success by thoroughly draining zucchini to prevent a stodgy texture. Substitute eggs with 2 chia eggs: mix 1 tbsp chia seeds with 2.5 tbsp water for one egg, let sit until gel-like (about 10 minutes). This may slightly densify the muffins but maintain deliciousness. Feta can be replaced with plant-based feta or other vegan cheeses. Use pitted green or black olives, or a mix. For more servings or smaller snacks, use smaller cupcake cases and reduce baking time, checking at 12-15 minutes and onward until baked through.
This Keto Kosher Meatloaf recipe is a delicious twist on the classic, perfect for those following a Keto or Kosher diet. It combines fresh herbs, eggs, and almond flour to create a flavorful base, while a rich mushroom mixture is spread over the surface and rolled into a log shape. It requires a bit of hands-on preparation but is easy enough for beginner cooks. You'll need a blender or food processor to blitz the mushroom paste and a loaf tin to bake the meatloaf. Eggs are technically 'parve,' making them suitable for serving with both meat and dairy dishes. Other parve foods include fish, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Feel free to substitute beef with kosher ground chicken or turkey. If fresh herbs aren't available, dried herbs can be used. Keto meatloaf can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months. If freezing individual portions, slice the meatloaf before freezing and place baking paper between each slice to prevent them from sticking together. To reheat, thaw the meatloaf and roast it in the oven until heated through.
This festive Christmas quiche combines rich, tangy cheese with a layer of sweet cranberry relish, making it a perfect centerpiece for your holiday table. The cranberry relish recipe can be found in our sides section, offering a delightful homemade touch to this savory delight.
This steakhouse-worthy Keto side dish can add an elevated touch to your dinner, but it works just as well as an addition to your meal prepping. Whole asparagus stalks require zero seasonings or preparation. Fully wrapping the stalks in bacon adds all the tenderization and salt you need. Wrapped over the bacon-wrapped asparagus are twists of Keto Fathead dough, which add a crunchy layer to tender asparagus. A brushing of egg wash adds that professional-looking touch. At your discretion, you may add extra seasonings to the top of the asparagus twisties before baking, such as fresh-cracked black pepper or garlic powder. Serve the asparagus twisties on the side of your protein main dish or enjoy as a snack before your meal. Fathead dough was born from the Keto movement. It ’s one of the easiest ways to substitute any dough made with wheat-based flours, which are too high in carbs for the Keto diet. A little almond flour is all you need because the main ingredients of the dough are mozzarella and cream cheese. Once the two cheeses are melted together, they create the perfect binding mechanism for the dough. The melted texture makes the dough pliable and easy to roll out. Just keep your dough chilled until you need to use it. It stays fresh in your refrigerator, or you can freeze the dough for longer use. Depending on where you live, asparagus will be available in stores nearly year-round. Asparagus is considered in-season during late-winter months up through spring. This is when you ’ll be able to use thick stalks that can be wrapped in bacon and Fathead dough for baking. If you find asparagus in your grocery store, but it ’s not quite in peak season, you ’ll see thin stalks. You can still use this asparagus but bundle the thin stalks up to equal the weight of a thick, in-season stalk of asparagus. This way, you can use this Keto recipe any time of year! Jessica L.
