The best high-protein Keto vegetarian recipe all in one bowl! This dinner bowl is filled with cauliflower mashed potatoes. Don t worry, the cauliflower tastes just like real mashed potatoes. Pea protein powder is added for more protein, which can be challenging to come by if you re vegetarian. Ladeled over your mashed potatoes is a vegetarian gravy that is thickened with low-carb tapioca flour (also called starch). The topping for this bowl is two hard-boiled eggs per serving. You can refer below for more information about toppings you can add to your mashed potato bowl. A simple way to add more fat to a vegetarian meal is with cheese! Pick your favorite cheese to shred and melt on top of your warm mashed potato bowl. If you want to add more protein to your bowl, use parmesan cheese. Parmesan cheese has more protein than fat as a hard cheese. Besides cheese, you can add other savory toppings to your mashed potato bowl. For more protein, opt for tofu or avocado. If you are just looking for more flavor, try adding a favorite hot sauce to your bowl. Nutritional yeast would also taste very good and cheesy if you are dairy-free! Cauliflower is a magical vegetable on the Keto diet. You can use it like potatoes in many creative ways as a substitution. Add the right seasonings, and you can make cauliflower taste like potatoes too! Cauliflower can be roasted, mashed, riced, diced, and sliced!

This Keto Japanese steamed rice recipe is a delightful addition to your low-carb culinary repertoire. If you enjoy Asian cuisine, you understand the importance of plain white rice as a side dish to balance intense flavors. This sticky cauliflower rice serves as the perfect low-carb alternative to complement Japanese dishes. It's quick and easy to prepare, requiring minimal ingredients and only 10 minutes of your time. Traditional Japanese steamed rice uses Uruchimai, a plump short-grain rice known for its sticky, firm, and slightly sweet texture when cooked. The cooked grains are easily manageable with chopsticks, making it a staple at every Japanese meal. To replicate this experience in a low-carb version, we aim to achieve a similar stickiness and subtle sweetness. The sweetness is easily attained by adding a low-carb sweetener like powdered erythritol while steaming the cauliflower rice. The real challenge lies in mimicking the texture since cauliflower lacks the starch responsible for rice's stickiness. This is where xanthan gum comes in. A small amount of xanthan gum binds the cauliflower granules just enough to allow for easy consumption with chopsticks without creating an unpleasant texture. To prepare the cauliflower rice, simply cut a head of cauliflower into florets, wash them thoroughly, and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. It's best to do this in batches to ensure even processing. You can also prepare a large batch of cauliflower rice and freeze the excess for future use in other Keto Japanese recipes.
This super quick and easy Keto Mediterranean recipe is packed with flavor from roasted low carb veggies and fats from juicy chicken drumsticks. Our Keto chicken bake is simple to prepare and made in just one dish, making it fuss-free and perfect for weeknights when you are short on time. This is a great option for anyone following a Mediterranean Keto diet or those looking for Paleo-friendly options. We have used chicken drumsticks for our Keto chicken bake. These are a great option as they are not only a fatty and flavorsome cut, but they are also a cost-effective option, perfect for cooking on a budget. If you prefer, you could use skin-on chicken thighs or breast instead. Please be sure to adjust your cooking times as needed for your chosen cut. Though tomatoes are higher in carbs than other Keto vegetables, they can still be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced low carb diet. We have chosen to use just one medium tomato alongside our other low carb veggies to complement our Mediterranean flavors. You may omit tomato if you would prefer or substitute for an alternative low carb vegetable. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.
Our whole turkey recipe is the best Keto turkey recipe for the holidays! To make this the best Keto whole turkey, we have brined the turkey overnight in a mixture of salt, water, fresh garlic, black peppercorns, and fresh rosemary. The brine recipe is basic enough for everyone to enjoy, yet simple enough that you can add other flavorings like herbs, spices, or citrus slices like lemon or oranges. The turkey is roasted on a v-shaped rack placed on top of a roasting pan. First, the turkey is roasted breast-side down so the broth that is placed inside the roasting pan can help to steam the meat as well as help some of the fat drip down into it as well. Then the turkey is turned breast-side up. Towards the end of the cooking time, the turkey is roasted and basted with a butter mixture until super golden brown and delicious. Note: For the purposes of accurate macros, we have included the recipe for the brine here in the note section. If the total amount of salt for the brine is included in the ingredient list the sodium levels will be inaccurately high. The turkey does not absorb all of the salt. Also, sodium is typically not a concern for those on Keto and low carb diets as the body tends to flush out more sodium. Brine Recipe: 2-gallon water, divided 1 cup kosher salt 5 garlic cloves 1 tbsp black peppercorn 5-7 sprigs of rosemary What size turkey is this recipe for? The recipe is based on a 15# turkey. Feel free to use any sized turkey 5 pounds. The length of cook time is roughly 15 minutes per pound. However, this number can greatly vary depending on a number of factors. It is best to take the turkey temperature in the thickest parts using a meat thermometer (in the breast of the thigh) until the temperature reaches 160-165 F. What are the special tools I need for a whole turkey? A very large pot for brining that will completely submerge the turkey is critical. It is also crucial to have a meat thermometer, particularly one that has a probe that can be inserted into the turkey while it is in the oven so you can monitor the temperature while it is cooking. This will ensure you will never have an over or undercooked turkey!

This Keto cranberry sauce is a delightful blend of sweet and savory, enhanced with warm spices and crispy bacon. Quick and easy to prepare, it makes a fantastic low-carb relish for roasted meats or vegetables, perfect for Keto Sunday lunches or Thanksgiving feasts. While dried fruits are generally high in carbs, dried cranberries offer a lower-carb option when consumed in moderation. This recipe uses dried cranberries with minimal added sugar, avoiding the heavily sweetened store-bought versions. Erythritol balances the tartness of the cranberries, but you can substitute your preferred low-carb sweetener. If fresh or frozen cranberries are preferred, increase the quantity by about 1/4 cup.
