Keto Zucchini Casserole Recipe - Easy Super Cheesy and Creamy Low Carb Bake with only 4 ingredients

Keto Zucchini Casserole Recipe

This keto zucchini casserole recipe makes a quick and easy side dish or main meal that’s loaded with creamy, cheesy goodness and the whole family will enjoy. 

There are also plenty of ways to adapt the great recipe to your own tastes, dietary requirements and what’s easy to find at a grocery store near you. 

I bought all of the ingredients at affordable ALDI, making it a brilliant budget friendly meal too. 

The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Recipe

Combining together the simple ingredients for the easy recipe

Here are the 4 basic ingredients you’ll need for the easy zucchini casserole recipe, plus lots of ideas for variations: 

Fresh Zucchini – I’ve included 2 fresh zucchini that are sliced up to create the base for the dish, although you can use as much zucchini as you’d like, depending on how many people you are feeding and whether the dish will be a side dish or main meal.

You can feel free to swap for any other low-carb vegetables, or include a mix of vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms or cabbage. You could also make it meaty by adding in sauteed ground beef or chicken breast. 

Adding the creamy sauce ingredients to the sliced zucchini

Sour Cream – a great way to add a tangy creaminess to the creamy sauce of the main dish. You could swap for cream cheese instead if you’d prefer, which is another creamy ingredient that’s low in g net carbs. 

Heavy Cream –  to add luxurious creaminess to the keto diet friendly meal, heavy cream or heavy whipping cream is the perfect inclusion in the creamy cheese sauce. 

Topping the baking dish with shredded cheese

Grated Cheese – plenty of shredded cheese is mixed through the casserole as well as topped before going into the oven for a golden brown, super cheesy topping that the entire family will enjoy, including picky eaters.

You can include any type of cheese you’d like such as sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Pepper Jack or Gruyere cheese. 

Seasoning – I’ve left the recipe without the mention of seasoning because we adore it as it is with the flavors of the sour cream, heavy cream and cheese combining together with the zucchini.

You can feel free to add in your choice of seasoning though from sea salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder or onion powder.

Keto Ground Beef Casserole Recipe – How To Make The Best Perfect Easy Cheesy Low Carb Comfort Food Meal With Broccoli and Cheese – With The Video Tutorial.

Keto Ground Beef Casserole Recipe - How To Make The Best Perfect Easy Cheesy Low Carb

Keto Ground Beef Casserole

This Keto Ground Beef Casserole Dish is really easy to prepare and makes a hearty comfort food meal that the whole family will enjoy. 

The best part is that it’s especially perfect for busy weeknights, with the whole meal coming together incredibly quickly and you can even meal prep it ahead of time to quickly throw into the oven as need be. 

The Simple Ingredients For The Delicious Meal

The Simple Ingredients For The Delicious Meal

Here are the simple keto diet ingredients that you’ll need to the easy recipe, along with ideas ingredient adaptations to create the perfect meal to suit your own tastes, budget and dietary requirements. 

Beef Mince – for the ground meat element I’ve included ground beef mince, you’ll find that the higher the fat content of the meat, the lower the cost, so it’s up to your budget and whether you prefer to include more healthy fats in your diet whether you go for a higher fat or lean ground beef option.

You could also swap for ground turkey, ground chicken, pork or lamb in the simple recipe. 

Onion & Garlic – chopped onion and garlic adds flavor and nutritious vegetables to the great recipe. You can use as little or as much of each ingredient, depending on how many carbs you’d like to allocate to the dish, with onion being slightly higher in carbs than other low carb vegetables. 

Adding broccoli to the large skillet

Broccoli – chopped broccoli florets add in flavor, nutritious greens and help the meal to go further and be more filling. You can swap for cauliflower or cauliflower rice, mushrooms, zucchini, green beans, bell peppers or add in any chopped low carb vegetables you’d like. 

Cream – to make a creamy sauce that’s low in g net carbs, I’ve included a combination of sour cream and heavy cream. You can feel free to swap one of the creamy ingredients for cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, ricotta cheese or cottage cheese instead, if that’s what you prefer and have available. 

Cheese – I find that a good casserole appeals to picky eaters by including plenty of grated cheese within the casserole and crispy, golden brown cheese baked on top. You can use grated cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese or your cheese mix of choice. 

Seasonings – season the hearty meal simply with salt and black pepper, or add in your choice of seasoning such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, taco seasoning or Italian seasonings.

Low Carb Tuscan Chicken Recipe – How to make an easy creamy keto and paleo friendly chicken dinner meal with sun-dried tomatoes.

Low Carb Tuscan Chicken Recipe - How to make an easy creamy keto and paleo friendly chicken dinner

Low Carb Tuscan Chicken

This low carb Tuscan chicken meal makes a wonderful keto friendly comfort food meal that the whole family will enjoy for dinner. 

The best part is that you can adapt the low carb meal to your own tastes, dietary requirements and what is easy for you to find at local grocery stores. 

The Keto Diet Friendly Ingredients

The simple ingredients for the delicious recipe

Here are the ingredients included and some ideas for more to adapt the Keto Tuscan chicken recipe to your tastes: 

Chicken – you can include boneless and skinless chicken thighs or boneless skinless chicken breasts in the easy weeknight dinner. You can swap for bone in and skin on, just add more cooking time. I find that there’s plenty of healthy fats in the rich sauce so having skinless boneless chicken thighs is perfect.  

Seasoning – add your seasoning of choice to the meal, choose from simply adding in salt and ground paprika as I have done or add in black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, fresh basil or fresh parsley. 

Vegetables – I’ve included chopped red onions, fresh garlic, sundried tomatoes and baby spinach to make a healthy, vegetable infused meal. 

How to make the creamy garlic sauce

Creamy Sauce – mix together heavy cream and chicken broth or chicken broth for a super flavorful creamy low carb sauce. You can swap the dairy ingredients for coconut milk, coconut cream or cashew cream to keep the recipe dairy free. 

Extra Ingredients – make a cheesy, creamy parmesan sauce by adding in Parmesan Cheese, Cheddar Cheese or Cream Cheese.

Sides – serve your delicious meal as is or with keto friendly sides like cauliflower rice, cauliflower mash, green beans or zucchini noodles. 

Keto Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Sun-dried tomatoes

Low Carb Tuscan Chicken Recipe

  • 4-6 Chicken Thighs
  • Salt, Black Pepper, Paprika & Seasoning, to taste
  • 3-4 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Onion
  • 3-4 Sundried Tomatoes, Chopped
  • 1/2-1 Cup Fresh Spinach
  • 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
  • Olive Oil or Coconut Oil, for cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet, cast iron skillet or frying pan on the stove over medium-high heat, adding a drizzle of olive oil or coconut oil to heat. 
  2. Season the chicken thighs all over with salt, pepper, paprika and your seasoning of choice. 
  3. When the pan is hot, cook the seasoned chicken for 3-4 minutes a side, or until golden brown on both sides, once cooked move to a plate.
  4. Peel and chop the garlic and onion and add to the pan to golden, moving the vegetables around to absorb all of the chicken flavor.  
  5. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, cooking until wilted. 
  6. Pour over the chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring the creamy garlic sauce up to the boil. 
  7. Once simmering, add the cooked chicken into the sauce, cooking for a final 5-10 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through. 
  8. Serve the low-carb Tuscan chicken immediately with your sides of choice, then store any cooled to room temperature leftovers in an airtight container to enjoy within 24 hours.

Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe

by

Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe – How to make the best easy low carb and keto friendly dinner for St. Patrick’s Day – with the video tutorial.

Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage Recipe - How to make the best easy low carb and keto friendly dinner

Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage

This Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage is the perfect low carb, keto friendly dinner to make on St. Patrick’s Day or any time of the year when you’re craving a hearty comfort food meal that the whole family will enjoy.

I’ve lived in Ireland for 6 years now, and this is by far my favorite Irish inspired meal that I cook over and over again, having adapted the recipe over the years as friendly locals have provided me with cooking tips and the perfect way to create meltingly tender meat. 

As such, there aren’t exact measurements, but rather adding in the right ingredients and enough water to slowly cook the corned beef to perfection. 

You can feel free to cook the easy recipe in your slow cooker, pressure cooker or instant pot, following the directions and length of time for cooking an appropriate sized piece of corned beef according to your machine’s instructions. 

The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Recipe

The simple ingredients for the keto corned beef recipe

Here are the keto diet friendly ingredients that are included in the great recipe for traditional corned beef: 

Corned Beef – I’ve used a 1kg/2.2lb piece of corned beef, if yours is bigger (or smaller), then adjust the cooking time accordingly. I usually aim for half an hour per 500g, plus an extra half an hour cooking time, so the 1kg piece of corned beef takes 1.5 hours to cook to tender perfection.

Onion –  the best way to add plenty of flavor to the meal is by adding in sliced onions. I like to keep mine fairly thick so that they can be enjoyed with the meat, rather than chopped so fine that they dissolve into the liquid during the cooking time. 

Sliced onion and chopped garlic

Garlic – another flavor must have, in my opinion, is plenty of chopped peeled garlic, which I also keep fairly chunky so that it maintains it’s shape during cooking. You can add as little or as much garlic as you’d like, depends on how garlicky you like your meals to be. 

Seasoning –  you can add in your seasoning to taste, although I find that the corned beef that I find at my local grocery store is perfectly seasoned during the curing process and doesn’t need anything else added to it. 

You can feel free to add in sea salt, rock salt, black pepper, mustard seeds, coriander seed, bay leaves or any other seasoning you like into the cooking liquid. You could also add in some beef broth, chicken broth or stock for added flavor, too. 

Sliced and cooked keto Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage

Cabbage –  you can use green cabbage or purple cabbage wedges as a great way to add in plenty of flavor and nutrition to the meal without brining up the total carbs too much. 

Carrots –  while being higher in g net carbs than other vegetables, I like to include chopped carrots when cooking my best corned beef for the flavor that it brings to the low carb version of the dish. My kids, who don’t follow a low carb diet, enjoy the carrots, while I enjoy the flavor they bring. 

Sides and Leftover Ideas

Ideas for leftovers and sides

There are plenty of choices for sides to serve with the easy corned beef and ways to use leftovers of the comfort food meal the next day: 

Sides – serve with your choice of sides such as cauliflower mash, cauliflower rice, horseradish sauce, spinach or broccoli. 

Keto Reuben Casserole – to make this low carb recipe that makes a further entire meal with so much flavor, pop leftover corned beef into a casserole dish, along with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut or cabbage and Russian Dressing, which you can then either bake until cheesy or saute until perfectly cooked to your liking. 

Corned Beef Hash Recipe – a great option is to whip up a hash for breakfast, or breakfast together, by frying leftover beef, along with chopped cabbage or radishes and once golden, cracking over a couple of eggs. (Here’s the full easy keto corned beef hash recipe.)

Meal Prep Boxes – a fun way to use leftovers is to create boxes to grab and go, chopped vegetables such as cucumber or bell peppers and a little sour cream.

    Keto Salmon Recipe

    by

    Keto Salmon Recipe With Creamy Garlic Sauce - Easy Low Carb Dinner Ideas

    Keto Salmon Recipe

    This keto salmon recipe with a creamy sauce is quick and easy to make, is high in healthy fats and has almost zero carbs. 

    You can serve the easy keto meal with a simple side salad, cauliflower rice, green beans, asparagus or your side of choice. 

    The Simple Ingredients For The Easy Recipe

    The simple ingredients for the main dish

    Here are the low carb diet approved ingredients that you’ll need to make the pan-seared salmon dish: 

    Salmon Fillets – choose from a variety of different types of salmon including wild-caught salmon, Atlantic salmon or any other fresh salmon that you can get a hold of. You can also use frozen salmon filets if you’d prefer.  

    Ideally your salmon will have it’s skin on so that you can enjoy the crispy skin that this recipe produces. 

    Fresh salmon fillets in the frying pan

    Heavy Cream –  the easiest way to create a creamy, tender salmon dish is to pour over plenty of heavy cream. You can also make it cheesy by adding a little Parmesan Cheese to the creamy sauce. 

    Garlic Cloves – crush or grate peeled garlic cloves for the best way to achieve a dish with so much flavor. You could of course always swap for garlic powder, if you’d prefer. 

    Seasoning – season your salmon with sea salt, black pepper or any other seasoning or herb you’d like. You could also squeeze over a little lemon juice or soy sauce for flavor, too.  

    Plate with keto crispy skin salmon fillets

    Keto Salmon Recipe With Creamy Garlic Sauce

    • 2 Salmon Fillets
    • 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream

    5. Remove the salmon to a plate, then pour the prepared creamy sauce into the pan and cook for a couple of minutes until bubbling.

      by

      Low Carb Sauce Recipes – The 5 best easy keto friendly sugar free delicious dipping sauces, creamy dressings and condiments to make.

      Low Carb Sauce Recipes - The 5 best easy keto friendly sugar free delicious dipping sauces

      Low Carb Sauce Recipes

      These low carb sauce recipes are the best way to add plenty of healthy fats to a low-carb diet meal. 

      Of course you can just drizzle a little hot sauce, tomato sauce, soy sauce or olive oil over a dish to add flavor, but as you’ll see, these keto sauce recipes need very little effort to prepare and taste incredible. 

      The best thing is that, as you’ll see, these delicious keto sauces are all so easy to make. They make a brilliant alternative to sauces and salad dressings that you’ll find at grocery stores, that may have an ingredients list that includes added sugar not keto friendly ingredients. 

      1. Keto Cheese Sauce

      Broccoli topped with creamy keto cheese sauce - low carb sauce recipes

      A great way to add cheesy goodness to low-carb dishes is with this cheese sauce recipe that consists of only 3 ingredients – sour cream, almond milk and plenty of grated cheese. 

      You can include mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese or include a mix of cheeses for the ultimate cheese sauce to serve with low-carb meals. 

      You can of course add in sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder or any other flavor that’s low in g net carbs that you’d like. Or, swap the sour cream for cream cheese or mascarpone cheese for an extra rich, luxurious cheese sauce that’s ketogenic diet approved. 

      The sauce can be poured over a plate of vegetables, like the above pictured broccoli with cheese sauce, poured over zucchini noodles or served with your low-carb vegetables of choice. 

      2. Keto Mushroom Sauce

      Creamy mushroom sauce cooking in the frying pan

      I adore this mushroom sauce as my favorite sauce to serve with a hearty steak to enjoy as a quick and easy keto meal.

      You may prefer to serve yours with a comforting roast meal, such as a roast chicken, instead. 

      The best part is that the creamy mushroom sauce has only a couple of ingredients and couldn’t be simpler to prepare. 

      To make this easy recipe, simply brown plenty of chopped mushrooms and garlic until reduced and browned, then pour over a generous amount of cream and bubble until you have an indulgent, creamy garlic infused steak sauce that’s full of extra flavor and has a low carb count. 

      3. Russian Dressing

      Keto Russian Dressing Recipe

      If you’d prefer a choice of low carb sauces that don’t require any cooking, then this Russian Dressing is the perfect sauce option. 

      To make the delicious sauce, you stir together the simple ingredients of sour cream, tomato sauce, paprika and salt to create a tasty sauce that has a multitude of uses, here are some ideas for you: 

      4. Blue Cheese Sauce

      Bowl topped with blue cheese

      This cheesy sauce is packed full of so much flavor and perfect as a dipping sauce or pouring sauce over a salad, meal or even low-carb pasta. 

      To make the simple sauce, combine together heavy cream, sour cream and mayonnaise, together with apple cider vinegar, seasoning and – of course – plenty of crumbled blue cheese.

      5. Low Carb Pizza Sauce

      Pizza sauce in a bowl

      Making low carb diet approved homemade sauces to enjoy with your favorite recipes is so easy and is likely to have less sugars and carbs than store-bought sauces from the grocery store. 

      All you need to make this keto spaghetti sauce is a can of chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano and basil to create a homemade sauce that’s perfect to enjoy with keto pizza or pasta.

      You can also add in a little tomato paste or red wine vinegar for a richer sauce to satisfy your taste buds. 

      Store any leftover low-carb sauces in an airtight container to enjoy as a key ingredient with your favorite low carb recipes.

      Low Carb Soup Recipes

      by

      Low Carb Soup Recipes – 5 Best Low-Carb Keto friendly soups that are delicious and healthy.

      Low Carb Soup Recipes - 5 Best Low-Carb Keto friendly soups

      Low Carb Soup Recipes

      These 5 Low Carb Soup Recipes are all made with simple ingredients that are keto diet friendly and create the perfect comfort food meal, especially on a cold day. 

      I’ve made these all on the stove top, but you can feel free to use the same suggested ingredients and throw everything into a slow cooker instead, following your manufacturers instructions for cooking temperature and length of time for soups. 

      1. Keto Bone Broth

      Keto Bone Broth

      This Keto Bone Broth or keto chicken soup recipe is a great way to either use as a base for another hearty soup or to enjoy as a nourishing chicken broth on it’s own to enjoy all of the incredible health benefits. 

      You can even add in some zucchini noodles to create a tender chicken noodle soup that’s ketogenic diet friendly and that the entire family will enjoy. 

      To make the homemade chicken stock, brown onion, garlic and chicken in a large pot, you can use any piece of chicken you like, or even leftover bones so that nothing from a roast chicken meal goes to waste. Ideally including plenty of pieces with bones and skin, with pieces like chicken breasts not adding in the same nutrition as fatty pieces like thighs, legs or wings.

      Add in salt, pepper and any other seasoning you like, then pour over water, stock or broth to cover. I like to also pour over a spoon of apple cider vinegar, to help the nutrients become released from the bones.

      Simmer for 2-3 hours and then serve, or allow to cool to room temperature, place in the fridge and consume the next day for added flavor and nutritional benefits. 

      2. Broccoli Cheese Soup

      Low Carb Soup Recipes - Broccoli Cheese Soup

      Enjoy this Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup as a hearty lunch, speedy dinner or a warming starter to a meal.

      The broccoli cheddar soup is easy, creamy and of course – super cheesy. You can top your soup with any cheese you like. Lately I’ve been fond of the natural saltiness that parmesan cheese adds to the simple meal.

      To make the easy low carb soup recipe, heat coconut oil, olive oil or butter in a large saucepan then add in onion and garlic until browned, add in chopped broccoli florets, salt and black pepper and then almond milk and heavy cream to create a luxuriously creamy soup, without the need for any low-carb thickeners.

      The comforting soup is simmered away until the broccoli has softened to be easily mashable, then you can either serve the soup as it is, mash with a potato masher or blend with a stick blender.

      You can add in as much cheddar cheese as you’d like, some just before taking the soup off the boil and more when serving to create the ultimate cheesy broccoli soup that’s full of healthy fats. 

      3. Keto Zucchini Soup

      Zucchini option

      This creamy keto zucchini soup is a budget friendly soup option to make when zucchini are in season, in abundance and cheap.

      You can adapt your soup recipe to include a number of creamy ingredients that are low in net carbs cream cheese, sour cream, coconut milk or Greek yogurt, depending on what you have in your kitchen or what’s easy to find at your local grocery store.

      4. Cauliflower Soup

      Low Carb Soup Recipes - Cauliflower Soup

      This easy cauliflower soup includes the great addition of blue cheese, which perfectly balanced the earthy flavor of the cauliflower in the flavorful soup. 

      To make this healthy soup, chopped cauliflower florets are cooked along with plenty of chopped onion and garlic until starting to soften, then stock, broth or water is poured over to cover and simmered until the vegetables are soft and ready to blend.

      Once blended, pour heavy cream and almond milk into the soup and cook until bubbling once again. Serve out into bowls, crumbling blue cheese over a big bowl of soup for added flavor. 

      5. Vegetable Soup

      Creamy keto vegetable soup

      This creamy vegetable soup combines together a selection of low carb vegetables to create a wonderfully nutritious, hearty soup.

      You can adapt the simply soup recipe to include your choice of vegetables. In this instance I included a healthy combination of leek, zucchini, broccoli and brussels sprouts, making it a great way to get a huge selection of vegetables in yours and any picky eaters diets.

      Toppings For Low Carb Soup Recipes

      Toppings ideas

      Here are some easy ideas for keto friendly ingredients that you can top your low-carb soup recipes with: 

      Creamy Ingredients – add in cream cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, coconut milk, coconut cream, Greek yogurt or almond milk for added creaminess. 

      Fresh Herbs and Seasoning – add in your favorite herbs and seasoning to create the perfectly flavored soup for you and your family. Choose from salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, chili powder, thyme, sage, rosemary, fresh basil or fresh parsley.

      Lemon or Lime – add in lemon or lime juice or zest to balance the flavors in any of the easy recipes. 

      Cheese – feta, goats cheese, parmesan cheese to add a cheesy element to easy keto soup recipes. 

      Meat – rotisserie chicken, Chorizo, cooked sausages such as Italian sausage, chopped cooked bacon, crumbled pork crackling or scratching to add protein to a delicious soup.

      Nuts and seeds – pine nuts, sliced almonds, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for a crunchy, high protein, nutritiously warm bowl of soup.

      Low Carb Rice Substitute Ideas

      by

      Low Carb Rice Substitute Ideas – the best healthy low-carb keto friendly alternatives to rice that are quick and easy to prepare when you want to include a rice alternative in your meals.

      Low Carb Rice Substitute Ideas - the best healthy low-carb keto friendly alternatives to rice

      Low Carb Rice Substitute Ideas

      These low carb rice substitute ideas are the perfect low-carb alternatives for when you want to prepare a meal that would usually have carb heavy white rice or whole grain brown rice. 

      As you start to look into it, you’ll discover that there are actually a number of delicious staple food options to choose from that will complement your favorite low-carb diet meals, without feeling like you’re missing out, yet still helping you on your journey to achieving your health and weight loss goals. 

      Cauliflower Rice

      Cauliflower Rice - low-carb alternatives

      When it comes to low-carb rice alternatives, cauliflower rice is usually the first option that comes to mind. You can easily make cauliflower rice by popping a couple of cauliflower florets from a head of cauliflower into a food processor or using a box grater or cheese grater to quickly grate the cauliflower into rice. (Like in this easy cheesy cauliflower rice recipe.)

      Another option is to pick up a pack of cauliflower rice or even cauliflower rice steam bags at grocery stores that you can use in place of traditional rice.

      I’ve also found bags of cauliflower rice in the specials aisle at Aldi that can be kept in the pantry to quickly throw into meals. 

      Keeping a bag or two of instant cauliflower rice in your freezer or pantry means that you can quickly whip up a meal with the nutritious ingredient. 

      You can make all kinds of comfort food meals like the above mentioned cheesy cauliflower rice, a speedy risotto by frying up mushrooms, garlic and onion then throwing over the cauliflower rice and maybe a little stock or cream for flavor, or you could whip up egg fried rice with the help of cauliflower rice.

      Another option with cauliflower is to make mash that serves as a creamy, comforting side dish alternative. 

      Broccoli Rice – Easy Low Carb Rice Substitute

      Broccoli Option

      Just as you would prepare cauliflower rice, you can also grate broccoli florets into rice, plus the broccoli stalk also grates to the perfect rice consistency, making broccoli a brilliant budget friendly, nutritious option that’s naturally low in grams of carbs. 

      Broccoli is also high in dietary fiber and Vitamin C, making it a great way to get more of the nutritious elements into your diet in a low carb diet friendly way. (Source.)

      Here’s how to make a super cheesy broccoli rice recipe that comes together really quickly and can be enjoyed as a side dish in place of regular rice, or as a whole cheesy comfort meal. 

      Here’s the video where you can watch the low carb alternative being prepared, step by step. Hit play below or click here to watch on YouTube.

      Shirataki Rice

      Shirataki Rice, also known as Miracle Rice or Konjac Rice

      If you’re watching your carb intake, then Shirataki Rice, also known as Miracle Rice or Konjac Rice, is a great store bought option when you’re wanting low-carb rice substitutes that are also ketogenic diet friendly. You’ll also find Shirataki noodles and pasta in store too that’s super low in grams of net carbs. 

      You’ll discover that the ingredient resembles the texture and flavor of regular rice, yet has virtually no calories or carbs, making it a healthy alternative that’s easy to pick up at your local grocery store. 

      Cabbage Rice

      Keto Cabbage Rice Meal

      ​You can enjoy riced cabbage to soak up your favorite sauce that you enjoy as part of a keto lifestyle. You can easily grate cabbage using a box grater to make cabbage rice or you could just finely chop it to have shredded cabbage in place of regular rice.

      Cabbage is the perfect ingredient to include with your next stir fry, such as the above pictured egg roll in a bowl, where finely chopped cabbage is fried with ground beef mince, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and salt and pepper.

      You could just as easily make it a vegetarian meal by omitting the beef mince and adding in eggs or tofu, depending on your own personal tastes and dietary requirements. 

      Zucchini

      Zucchini noodles option

      Just as zucchini noodles are a popular replacement for any type of pasta, zucchini rice can be enjoyed in place of rice when served with keto recipes. 

      Or, of course you could simply enjoy zucchini noodles as a side dish when a meal would usually call for regular rice or in a dish like the above pictured comforting creamy keto Alfredo sauce.

      Brussels Sprouts

      Low Carb Rice Substitute Ideas - Brussels Sprouts

      Finely shredded Brussels Sprouts are a great option to serve as a side with your next meal that has fewer carbs.

      You can simply fry sprouts with plenty of garlic and olive oil, coconut oil or butter, or make the above pictured roasted brussel sprouts with parmesan as a tasty side dish to serve with any meal.

      Moderately Low Carb Rice Substitute Ideas

      Wild Rice and Quinoa - Low carb rice substitute ideas

      Depending on how low a low carb diet you’re following, you may choose to include either wild rice or quinoa in your diet.

      I’d suggest doing your own research on each ingredient, and determining for yourself whether a small portion of either can be included in your diet to help you satisfy your rice cravings without such a high carb count. 

      Both wild rice and quinoa are loaded with health benefits and naturally high in grams of fiber, so would make a great substitute for different types of rice while being lower in net carbohydrates.

      All you need is zucchini that you spiralize into noodles. (You’ll need a spiralizer for that, here’s a selection of spiralizers on Amazon.)
