Keto Chicken Florentine with Crispy Rapini

⭐ 4.4/5 (2638) 🔥 650 cal

Serve your chicken a la florentine style! This dish is inspired by Florence, Italy. Traditional chicken florentine consists of chicken breasts that have been lightly breaded and fried in olive oil. The chicken is served with florentine sauce, which includes flavors of white wine, cream, and a bed of spinach. To make this a complete meal, you ll enjoy your Keto chicken florentine with a side dish of green rapini. The rapini is sauteed and becomes crispy once you add ground pork rinds to them. Serve this dish with fresh lemon slices to squeeze the juice over everything! You can use this Keto recipe for your meal prepping. The chicken florentine and rapini will stay quality-fresh in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can microwave all the meal components together when its time to eat. You may know rapini by its other name: broccoli rabe. Theyre one and the same! Rapini is a Mediterranean, leafy green vegetable that looks very similar to broccoli. The heads of rapini look very much like broccoli heads, but the rapini heads are actually small flower buds! Yes, the buds, leaves, and stems of rapini are all edible. However, if you dont want to eat any blooming rapini buds, you can cut them off. Rapini can be quite bitter, so make sure to always cook it with a lot of salt, butter or olive oil, and lemon juice. If you dont like pork rinds or dont want to buy them to use a small amount, you can substitute them with a couple of other options. The best swap for pork rinds would be very fine bacon bits. If you want to avoid pork, grated parmesan cheese or finely chopped pecans could add the crispy element to your rapini. However, keep in mind that pork rinds or bacon would add fat macros to your diet, while parmesan cheese or nuts wont provide quite as much. Jessica L.

Psyllium husk can be used as a substitute for tapioca flour to further reduce carbs.

Low Carb Sesame Seed Sandwich Bread

Low Carb Sesame Seed Sandwich Bread

⭐ 4.4/5 (1661) 🔥 200 cal

It ’s nostalgic to bite into a slice of fluffy white bread, coated in a sesame seed crust. The only problem with the white bread loaves of our childhood is that they are all empty carbs and processed with added sugars. Boo! Keto or not, this is the best Keto bread recipe to replace sandwich bread. What makes the bread slices so fluffy is the addition of whipped egg whites, which make up about half the bread batter. You ’ll notice the original recipe here makes just 2 servings. So much egg is needed, your typical kitchen stand mixer can ’t hold much more than what is listed below. Enjoy this sandwich bread as a mid-week treat for sticking to your Keto diet so well! Jessica L. Any self-proclaimed baker at one point or another has announced to those who will listen that baking is a precise science! They ’re not wrong, at the end of the day. In this bread recipe, one of the most important ingredients that isn ’t listed is air. Yep, oxygen! Whipping at a high speed incorporates hundreds of little air bubbles into egg whites. It ’s important to be gentle with whipped egg whites so those precious bubbles don ’t deflate. When the whipped egg whites bake in your oven, the air bubbles stay in place to keep your baked good risen and lightweight. That ’s what all those tiny little holes are in your bread slices and what makes Keto bread and cakes fluffy and voluminous. The sesame seeds in this sesame seed sandwich bread recipe give a toasty, slightly nutty flavor to the bread. They help cover up some of the egg taste and add a crunchy texture. You could swap the sesame seeds for another spice or herb at your discretion. Poppyseeds or crushed peppercorns could substitute. You could also add dried garlic or onion powder to the bread. If you choose to add fresh chopped herbs to the bread, make sure to mix these in with the egg whites before adding to the dry dough.

Keto Halloween Pumpkin Spider Cookies

⭐ 4.4/5 (2355) 🔥 207 cal

This Keto treat is sweet and not too spooky to eat! Make a batch of these freshly baked pumpkin cookies for just yourself, your family, or a small gathering of friends. Each cookie has a dark chocolate ganache spider with dark chocolate legs. The fun part is the decorating, so make sure to include others or the kids to join in. If you have an artsy flair, you can get creative with different chocolate designs. Make a fleet of tiny spiders or intricate webs with a plastic piping bag or one made out of parchment paper. The original recipe here includes decorative eyes, which are made with sugar. This is not included in the listed ingredients, and you can make eyes for your spiders with the chocolate ganache or Keto whipped cream. Jessica L. Canned pumpkin is Keto friendly and can be used to substitute for many other ingredients. If you e vegan, you can substitute butter, eggs, and dairy products with canned pumpkin in your baked goods. While this recipe is not vegan, you could make cookies with just the canned pumpkin, dry ingredients, and flavorings. If you want to make Keto-friendly, vegan baked goods, try utilizing canned pumpkin in bread, muffins, and other cookies. You can also omit the heavy cream used to make the ganache and simply make your cookie decorations with non-dairy chocolate. If you have a good vegan Keto tip, drop it in the comments! This recipe isn t exclusive to Halloween! You can make these pumpkin cookies during the entire holiday season. For Thanksgiving, fill the cookie center with ganache and use dark chocolate to design turkey feathers and feet. During winter holidays, you can use the chocolate to design snowflakes and other holiday-themed patterns. You can omit pressing a dent into the cookie in Step 3 entirely and simply dip your flat pumpkin cookies into melted chocolate, instead of making a creative design. Have fun enjoying this recipe whenever you get a craving for a pumpkin-flavored dessert!

Low Carb Brown Sugar Butter Acorn Squash

⭐ 4.4/5 (1510) 🔥 174 cal

Acorn squash halves are roasted to perfection with a delectable coating of brown sugar and salted butter. The squash is first cleaned by removing the seeds, then scored with a sharp knife to allow the brown sugar butter mixture to deeply penetrate during roasting. The sweetener beautifully enhances the squash's natural sweetness, making it a delightful low-carb side dish suitable for Keto and Low Carb diets. It stores well in the fridge and reheats easily, making it a convenient addition to any protein for a complete meal. For a Keto-friendly version, use a brown sugar replacement such as Swerve. The squash roasts for approximately one hour at 400 F. Roasted acorn squash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Low Carb Bangers and Mash

⭐ 4.4/5 (1376) 🔥 550 cal

Enjoy this Keto recipe for “bangers and mash” as a simple lunch meal prep or as part of a larger meal at the dinner table. Bangers and mash is another fun way of saying “sausage and mashed potatoes” or the even simpler “meat and potatoes”. Links of pork sausage or cut pieces of smoked sausage are stewed in a sauce made with caramelized onions and Worcestershire sauce. The onion sauce “bangers” are served on a bed of onion mashed ‘potatoes’. The mash is really mashed cauliflower, which can be cooked to have the same textures and tastes as regular mashed potatoes. The green onion doesn’t overpower the final dish. All the onion flavors are very complimentary, delicious, and Keto! You can keep the final recipe stored in meal prep containers in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. Just microwave the meal when you’re ready to eat. “Banger” is a British term for sausage links. The supposed origin story of the nickname dates to World War 1, when food supplies were stretched thin to last longer. Sausages could be filled with all sorts of ingredients, including liquids. When the sausages were cooked at high temperatures, they would burst or “bang”, if you will. The term “bangers and mash” has since always been associated with The Brits. Choosing links of pork sausage or smoked sausages made with pork will be best for your macros in this recipe. In some cases, sausages made with both pork and beef can still fit within the macros set for the recipe. For example, Polish kielbasa is often made with a blend without changing the macros of typical pork sausage. Avoid using all-beef products, like hot dogs or beef brats, unless you intend to add the ingredients of the recipe individually to your food log to have accurate macros. Jessica L.
