Low Carb Cannelloni w Caprese Topped Eggplant

⭐ 4.8/5 (1637) πŸ”₯ 400 cal

This Italian inspired Keto dinner is hot, cheesy, and oh-so-satisfying. The whole family will enjoy the meal, even the kids. Cannelloni pasta is made with specially prepared zucchini and stuffed with ricotta cheese and thin-sliced cremini mushrooms. After the cannelloni is rolled and placed in a bed of marinara sauce, it ws topped with loads of cheese and baked to perfection. The bubbling, golden brown cannelloni pasta is served with an eggplant side dish. The eggplant is cooked to your preferred level of tenderness and then topped with a cold caprese-style mixture of tomatoes, cheese, basil, and balsamic vinegar. If you ware not sharing the meal with anyone, you can portion and store the ingredients in meal prep containers. Everything can heat up together in your microwave for nights you just don wt have time to cook. The finished meal can be stored in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you don wt like eggplant, there are some substitutions you can make. Although the cannelloni is made with zucchini, you may substitute the eggplant slices with thick slices of zucchini as well. You can prepare the sliced zucchini in the same way as the eggplant by baking it in your oven. If you ware seeing enough green already, swap the eggplant out for large portabella mushroom caps! Again, you can prepare and seasoning the mushroom caps the same as you would the eggplant. Fill the mushroom cavities with your caprese topping and enjoy. Most of the prep time in this Keto recipe is used for removing excess moisture from the zucchini. Placing the peeled zucchini between layers of paper towels and weighing them down is crucial to the success of the recipe. If you skip this step, your final baked dish will be filled with water that is released from the squash during baking. It will also be more difficult to spread ricotta cheese across the strips of zucchini and to roll the zucchini up later. When the excess water is removed, the zucchini is easier to handle and won wt make your other ingredients wet. Jessica L.

Low Carb Passover Matzo Ball Soup

Low Carb Passover Matzo Ball Soup

⭐ 4.8/5 (1535) πŸ”₯ 250 cal

This Keto Matzo Ball soup is our low carb take on the traditional Jewish Passover dish. Our low carb soup is prepared with chicken wings and thighs, slowly simmered to create a fresh chicken stock. The stock is then combined with tender rutabaga, celery and onion and finished with Keto-friendly dumplings made with ground almonds, egg, a little fat and seasoning. This makes a great low carb alternative for the Passover holiday. Matzo or Matzah balls are traditional Jewish dumplings served in broth. Matzo is a flatbread prepared with wheat which is consumed over Passover. The Matzo flatbread meal is used to create the dumplings, which are then simmered in a rich chicken broth. We have simply replaced the Matzo meal with ground almonds to create our low carb version of these traditional dumplings. Traditional Matzo ball soup uses schmaltz as a fat to help bind the dumplings, and can be used to soften the vegetables. We have used olive oil in our low carb adaptation of the recipe; however, you may use schmaltz if desired. Butter would not be used in the dish as it is not traditional to consume dairy products and meat within the same dish.

Keto Russian Salad

Keto Russian Salad

⭐ 4.8/5 (2426) πŸ”₯ 300 cal

This delicious low carb recipe is our Keto take on a classic Russian salad. We have prepared our low carb dish with cauliflower florets, tender radishes, a few green peas, hard-boiled eggs, salty capers, tangy gherkins, and creamy mayonnaise. This flavorful Keto salad makes a great side dish; perfect served with grilled or barbecued meats. Russian salad is typically made with potatoes, carrots, eggs, pickles, fresh herbs, and mayonnaise. Occasionally some salads also include ham and variations on the vegetables. For our adaptation of this classic dish, we have substituted the carb-heavy potatoes with cauliflower and swapped the carrots for radish. We have used fresh parsley in our adapted salad, but this would also work well with fresh dill. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe. Although peas are not typically considered Keto, a small quantity can be enjoyed on occasion as part of a balanced low carb diet. We have used just a quarter cup of peas in this low carb recipe, which is divided between 4 servings. This adds a hint of the flavor and texture of peas without too many additional carbs. If you prefer to lower the carb count, you can omit the peas entirely or substitute with a few chopped green beans.

Keto Italian Style Green Beans

⭐ 4.8/5 (1396) πŸ”₯ 320 cal

This easy Keto recipe is a great way to add fats and flavor to frozen green beans. Our low carb side dish is prepared with frozen green beans, aromatic garlic, creamy butter, ground almonds, tangy Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and a hint of lemon zest. This makes a great Keto side dish to accompany roasted and grilled meats or an Italian inspired main. For this recipe, we have used frozen green beans for both ease and convenience. The green beans are simmered in stock until tender, then saut ed in butter with the remaining ingredients, creating a crispy golden crumb. You can use both whole or chopped green beans for this recipe, adjusting cooking times as needed. If preferred, you could also use prepared fresh green beans. We have cooked our Keto green beans in butter for both fats and flavor and added grated Parmesan to the golden crumb mixture. If you would like to make the recipe dairy-free or vegan, you can swap the butter for olive oil. You can also swap the Parmesan for some nutritional yeast flakes. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.

Keto Best Avocado Eggs Benedict

Enjoy a unique twist on eggs benedict with this Keto-friendly recipe! Instead of the traditional English muffin, the poached eggs are nestled inside a soft avocado. Each spoonful combines creamy avocado, runny egg yolk, and rich hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise sauce is made from scratch, ensuring a fresh and flavorful experience. Serve this delightful dish for breakfast, or pair it with other Keto recipes like Keto Hashbrowns for a complete meal. Perfect for a special occasion like Mother's Day, this eggs benedict offers an easy, delicious, and Keto-friendly option. Remember to whisk the hollandaise sauce ingredients continually over low heat to prevent curdling. Add butter gradually, one tablespoon at a time, to achieve the perfect consistency. For poaching the eggs, create a gentle whirlpool in simmering water before carefully adding the egg. Cook to your liking, then remove with a slotted spoon.

Keto French Quiche Lorraine

Keto French Quiche Lorraine

⭐ 4.8/5 (2567) πŸ”₯ 420 cal

Quiche Lorraine is the epitome of all indulgent French dishes. The combination of the flakey Keto crust with the smokey bacon, sharp cheese, caramelized onions, and savory egg custard makes this quiche extraordinary. This dish can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even as a snack. Feel free to enjoy it hot or at room temperature. To be considered quiche Lorraine, it has to be prepared with eggs, bacon, and some type of Swiss cheese. The addition of other ingredients like ham, vegetables, sausage, etc., makes for quiche, not quiche Lorraine. Up to this day, there is debate about whether some elements can be added to a quiche Lorraine, like onion or garlic. For this Keto quiche Lorraine, we are keeping it simple and as close to a classic quiche Lorraine as possible. The crust starts with 2 Keto-friendly flours: almond flour and coconut flour. They are mixed with psyllium husk powder and xanthan gum, which prevent the crust from falling apart. Cold butter is then incorporated into the dry ingredients. Using cold butter is crucial for a flakey crust. Using room temperature or melted butter will yield a hard crust. Finally, an egg is added to form a dough. You can use this low-carb crust in many Keto recipes, including sweet ones. To prepare a sweet pie crust, simply mix a couple of tablespoons of powdered sweetener with the dry ingredients. Traditionally, quiche Lorraine is made with Gruyere cheese, and just like many French Keto recipes, it is best to keep it authentic. However, if you don have Gruyere or don mind switching things up, you can use parmesan, mozzarella, white cheddar, or provolone.
