Keto Bone Broth Recipe

December 20, 2022 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Bone Broth Recipe – how to make easy low carb friendly chicken broth to be able to enjoy the health benefits on the ketogenic diet – with the video tutorial.

Keto Bone Broth Recipe - how to make easy low carb friendly chicken broth

Keto Bone Broth Recipe

This chicken soup with drumsticks recipe is easy, cheap and a nutritious meal to enjoy through Winter. (And through the year when you’re craving a healing, warming meal.)

I like to make soup with drumsticks because they are a budget friendly piece of chicken and make a flavorful broth with tender chicken. I’ve made my broth on the stove top but you can feel free to make yours in a slow cooker or even a pressure cooker, following your machines directions. (Here are more cheap keto meals.)

Mixing a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar through the soup adds flavor and helps draw the nutrients and minerals from the bones. Which explains the healing nature of chicken soup that’s excellent for your immune system and weight loss goals.

You may even find that consuming a cup of bone broth on a regular basis will help with your digestive health, joint health and even avoid dreaded keto flu symptoms if you’re still in a transition period with your diet and adapting to a state of ketosis or intermittent fasting.

Plate of zucchini noodles or zoodles

The recipe makes an easy way to create a simple soup, and you can also add other keto diet friendly simple ingredients into your homemade bone broth and enjoy future uses for the pot of broth, here are some ideas:

  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Leek
  • A small amount of root vegetables
  • Add more healthy fats by mixing through sour cream, heavy cream or MCT oil to cups of bone broth
  • Zucchini or Zucchini Noodles
  • Use bone broth in place of stock in you keto friendly soup of choice that’s low in grams of carbs

In this instance I’ve used chicken drumsticks but you can also follow the same recipe and boil up a whole chicken or chicken wings, that are perfect for slow cooking to create a warming traditional bone broth or chicken stock that’s low in net carbs.

You can even reuse the chicken bones to make another pot of broth, which is a great way to enjoy the benefits of bone broth for many meals to come.

Plate with cooked chicken and bones

Keto Bone Broth Recipe

  • 1kg/2.2lbs Chicken Drumsticks
  • 1 Onion, peeled and chopped
  • 3-4 Garlic Cloves, peeled and chopped
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
  • Stock or Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Coconut Oil, for cooking
  1. Heat the coconut oil or olive oil in a large saucepan, and, when hot, add the chicken drumsticks, along with salt and pepper, to taste.
  2. Cook the chicken drumsticks, tossing a couple of times, until browned on all sides.
  3. Add in the chopped onion and garlic and cook until starting to brown and soften.
  4. Pour over stock or water, to cover, the apple cider vinegar and more salt and pepper.
  5. Bring the soup up to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The longer you simmer the soup for the richer flavor you’ll enjoy will be.
  6. Once cooked to your liking, take the drumsticks out of the soup and remove the chicken from the bones. As it’s been cooking for a couple of hours, you’ll find that a simple spoon will pull the chicken apart.
  7. Return the chicken to the soup and serve. You can save the bones to make another pot of soup.

My local supermarket reduces the fresh meat/chicken first thing in the mornings and in the evenings. So, I try to get there at one of those times to discover what bargains they have on offer to incorporate into ketogenic diet favorite dinner meals.

Easy recipe cooking

On this particular morning they had ground beef and mushrooms reduced to clear. I brought them home and combined them together with ingredients I already had in my kitchen for a ridiculously cheap, creamy stroganoff dish that’s a keto comfort food meal that the whole family enjoyed.

You can adapt this delicious keto version of a classic beef stroganoff to include beef broth, heavy cream and/or sour cream as well in your creamy sauce if you like.

  5. Once the pieces of beef have browned, add in the mushrooms.
  6. Cook until the mushrooms have reduced and the meat is completely cooked through.

  8. Stir to mix the cream cheese into the cooked beef stroganoff and cook until bubbling and you have a creamy, thick sauce.

Keto Garlic Bread Recipe

August 31, 2021 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Garlic Bread Recipe – How to make the best easy low carb homemade garlic cheese bread with 0.6g net carbs – with almond flour and mozzarella – without yeast or cream cheese.

Keto Garlic Bread Recipe - How to make easy low carb homemade garlic cheese bread

Keto Garlic Bread Recipe

This Keto Garlic Bread Recipe is quick and simple to prepare, low in net carbs (at just 0.6g per slice) but tastes WAY better than any carb full garlic bread out there.

I’ve been making the keto cheese bread recipe weekly lately whenever I roast a chicken to enjoy as a cheesy side that perfectly complements and completes the main dish.

If you’re new to keto, then this recipe will be an absolute life saver for you – helping you enjoy all the flavors of garlic bread or a garlic pizza in a low carb friendly approved way that tastes just like the real thing. (Or maybe even better!)

Low Carb Garlic Bread Ingredients

Keto ingredients

Here are the main ingredients that you’ll need to make these cheesy garlic bread.

As you’ll see in the recipe card down below, they are all simple ingredients that you’re likely to already have in your kitchen, so can conveniently create a batch of this delicious keto garlic bread to enjoy as the perfect side dish with any meal.

Grated Cheese – you can go for mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese or really any gooey cheese that you’d like. You can use already grated cheese or grate the cheese yourself to make the keto dough.

Just be sure to check when buying ready grated cheese that there are no hidden carbs which are often added to prevent the grated cheese from sticking together in the package.

Clove garlic

Garlic – you can use fresh garlic cloves or garlic powder, depending on your personal preference and the garlic flavor you’re after.

I’ve suggested 2 to 4 garlic cloves in the recipe, you could always use more or can swap to a half to a teaspoon of powder instead.

Oregano – a generous pinch of ground oregano is the perfect herb addition in this recipe.

Almond Flour – I’ve used almond flour to bind the easy keto garlic bread together.

If you’d like to use coconut flour instead, use 1 to 2 tablespoons, until you reach the perfect bread batter consistency.

1 Egg – I’ve used a large egg in this recipe, if your egg is smaller, you may need to add a second to help bind the ingredients together, or you could add a few tablespoons of melted butter if the batter is too dry.

Optional Extra Ingredients

Sliced low carb garlic bread

Here are some ideas for more ingredients that you can include in your keto bread recipe that are all low in grams of net carbs:

Marinara Sauce – you can spread a tablespoon or so of marinara sauce over the top of the bread and then sprinkle over a little more grated cheese.

Another option is to pour a little marinara sauce into a bowl and enjoy it as a keto diet friendly dipping sauce for the garlic bread.

Dipping sauce and ideas for herbs

Italian Seasoning, Chives or Parsley – you can swap the oregano for Italian Seasoning, Chives, Fresh Parsley or your herb of choice for a mixed herb healthy garlic bread recipe.

Salt & Pepper – I find that the strong flavors of cheese, garlic and oregano don’t need the addition of salt and pepper, but you can feel free to add a pinch or two of either if you want.

Cream Cheese –  add in 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese for a creamier bread that’s more like fathead dough, that’s also low in g net carbs.

This low carb garlic bread recipe can also be used as a pizza crust and topped with your keto friendly toppings of choice such as cooked mushrooms, perpperoni, salami, tomato, goats cheese or even leftover roast chicken or meat.

Keto Crispy Chicken Thighs Recipe

Keto Crispy Chicken Thighs Recipe – How to make the best easy low carb diet oven baked extra crisp ketogenic chicken dinner – with the video.

Keto Crispy Chicken Thighs Recipe - How to make the best easy low carb oven baked extra crisp ketogenic chicken dinner

Keto Crispy Chicken Thighs

These keto crispy chicken thighs are super easy to make and the method creates extra crispy skin that’s perfectly tender within. The entire family will adore this simple recipe that’s pure comfort food with amazing flavor.

I like to keep it simple and just smother the thighs in olive oil, then shake over plenty of salt and paprika.

You can add on onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning or any other seasoning or fresh herbs you like. You could also swap the oil for avocado oil or any oil you like.

You can bake the keto meal on it’s own or add in some vegetables to roast too. I tend to just pop in a handful of unpeeled garlic cloves that add fragrance and then my Husband and I just enjoy them whole with the chicken.

You can use boneless chicken thighs in keto chicken thigh recipes or include bone in thighs as I’ve use in the easy recipe. Another option is to use chicken wings, drumsticks or your chicken piece of choice that’s budget friendly. (Here are more cheap keto meals.)

If making with bone in chicken, then just save leftover chicken bones for making chicken broth or chicken soup, so nothing goes to waste.

Here are some ideas for keto diet friendly sides to serve with the dinner:

  • Creamy mushroom sauce
  • Creamed Spinach
  • Broccoli Salad
  • Cheesy Cauliflower Rice
  • Green Beans Casserole
Chicken thighs out of the oven

Keto Crispy Chicken Thighs Recipe

  • 1kg/2.2lbs Chicken Thighs
  • 2-4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper, to taste
  • Paprika
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F and get out a large oven proof dish or well lined baking sheet.
  2. Place the chicken into the oven proof dish in a single layer, drizzle over the oil and toss the chicken well to cover in the oil.
  3. Shake over salt and paprika and toss the chicken once again, moving them all to be skin side down.
  4. You can shake over more salt and paprika, plus your seasoning of choice then move to the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven, turn the chicken over so that all of the pieces are skin side up and return to the oven for a final 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and you have crisp skin to your liking. Serve with your sides of choice or sour cream for dipping.

Keto Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe

June 10, 2020 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe – Easy 3 Ingredient Low Carb Budget Dinner Ideas with Ketogenic friendly ground beef meat sauce and a low-carb pasta option. Including the video.

Keto Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe - Easy 3 Ingredient Low Carb Dinner Ideas

Keto Spaghetti Bolognese

This easy keto spaghetti bolognese has only 3 ingredients and is quick to prepare. (And enjoy!)

You may wonder how just 3 ingredients can create an (almost) authentic spaghetti bolognese dish.

Each of the 3 elements plays an important part in helping the meal taste almost identical to a carby version but is significantly lower in grams of net carbs.  This keto spaghetti recipe really is that simple!

The three ingredient, basic recipe includes only the following low carb diet foods –

Beef Mince – I tend to use the highest fat ground beef mince I can find, which is usually economically budget friendly. You could mix it up and use any mince you’d like such as ground pork, ground turkey or lamb for a different meaty flavor. (For more budget inspiration, here’s my cheap keto grocery list.)

Low Carb Pasta Sauce – find the lowest carb pasta sauce you can, one without added sugars or hidden carbs. The tomato sauce brings plenty of flavor without the need for additional ingredients.

You can of course add in chopped onion or a couple of peeled and chopped cloves of garlic, a half a teaspoon of Italian seasoning or basil to flavor your keto bolognese sauce further. 

You can just as easily make your own sauce by combining together a can of chopped tomatoes with your seasoning and flavoring of choice, then storing in mason jars in the fridge to use in this and other low carb alternatives. (Here are more keto sauces that are easy to make.) 

Low carb cabbage noodles

Cabbage – is my keto friendly pasta alternative of choice, simply slice the cabbage into traditional spaghetti sized pieces and then cook until softened to create the perfect keto noodles.

You can feel free to swap the cabbage noodles for other popular keto diet friendly pasta alternatives such as zucchini noodles, Shirataki noodles, miracle noodles, hearts of palm noodles. spaghetti squash or any other low-carb spaghetti that you can get hold of at local grocery stores. 

You can go beyond the three simple ingredients if you want to and include as many of the following keto friendly foods in your dish as you’d like in the ragu sauce:

  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Mushrooms
  • Red peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower – chopped or cauliflower rice
  • Red wine
  • Heavy cream
  • Tomato paste
  • Bay leaves

I like to top my  low carb spaghetti bolognese bowl full with plenty of grated cheese, including a mix of one or more of cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. You can also top your homemade bolognese sauce with fresh herbs and seasoning to taste. 

3 ingredient low carb dinner idea

Keto Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe

  • 500g/1.1lbs Beef Mince
  • Jar of Low Carb Pasta Sauce
  • 1/4 to 1/2 Cabbage or Low-Carb Noodle Substitute
  1. Heat about a tablespoon of olive oil, coconut oil or butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. When hot, add the beef mince.
  3. Cook the ground meat until browned on all sides.
  4. Once the meat has browned, add the jar of pasta spaghetti sauce.
  5. Bring the bolognese up to the boil.
  6. Meanwhile, slice the cabbage into noodles and then add to the bolognese sauce.
  7. Reduce to medium heat, then cook until the cabbage noodles have softened and the sauce has reduced.
  8. Serve as is or topped with grated parmesan or cheese, moving leftovers into airtight containers to enjoy the next day.

The homemade keto spaghetti dish is also a brilliant meal prepping recipe that you can portion out into individual glass containers to grab through the week for speedy meals to help you stay on track with your ketogenic diet when there’s no time to cook.

Keto Alfredo Sauce Recipe

November 11, 2019 by Easy Keto Living

Keto Alfredo Sauce Recipe With 3 Ingredients – How to make the best easy homemade Low Carb Alfredo Sauce with Zoodles and without cream cheese.

Keto Alfredo Sauce Recipe With 3 Ingredients and Zoodles

Keto Alfredo Sauce Recipe

I like to refer to this homemade keto alfredo sauce recipe as my version of 2 minute noodles – but call is 2 minute zoodles and will help you stay on plan and achieve your own personal health and weight loss goals.

This low carb diet dish comes together so quickly and this creamy keto alfredo sauce has only 3 simple ingredients, yet tastes completely authentic and way better than store-bought alfredo sauces.

How To Make Keto Homemade Alfredo With Zoodles

The sauce has 3 core ingredients – heavy cream, fresh garlic and parmesan cheese. You can create a tasty low-carb diet friendly alfredo with just those 3 ingredients, and below there are some suggestions for adaptations to suit your tastes.

Plate of zucchini noodles or zoodles

Start by getting all of your keto-friendly ingredients prepped. Spiralize zucchini into zucchini noodles, (You’ll need a spiralizer for that, here’s a selection of spiralizers on Amazon.)

Then, get out the parmesan cheese and grate it if it’s not already grated. Peel the garlic and get it ready and waiting in the garlic crusher to crush over the dish when needed.

Once you’re all prepped and ready, heat the zoodles in coconut oil or butter for about 30 seconds. Crush the garlic over the zoodles and give it a toss through.

Cooking zucchini noodles or zoodles in a frying pan with sauce

Then pour over as much heavy cream as you’d like, Allow to bubble for a further 30 seconds, add the parmesan to create a cheesy gooey cream sauce to taste. Once done it can look like keto fettuccine alfredo. You can also add in an egg yolk or two to add another high fat ingredient to the pasta sauce.

There are loads of adaptations to this recipe. You could add chicken breast, use garlic salt or already crushed garlic, mix up the cheese options and add in any cheese you like for the cheesy flavor and even swap the zucchini noodles for cabbage noodles, Shirataki noodles or your favorite low carb noodle, low carb pasta or keto pasta of choice.

You could also swap the cream for coconut milk or almond milk and use dairy free alternatives for the parmesan to create a dairy free low carb alfredo sauce recipe made with basic ingredients that’s low in grams of net carbs.

There isn’t one best way to create your easy keto alfredo sauce. I haven’t specified the amount of cream or parmesan cheese, because it really depends on how creamy and cheesy you’d like your traditional alfredo sauce.

Low Carb alfredo with zoodles and without cream cheese

Keto Diet Alfredo Sauce Recipe With Zoodles

  5. Toss through the minced garlic and then pour over the cream, reducing the creamy alfredo sauce to a low heat.
  6. Bubble for under a minute, add the parmesan, salt and the black pepper, to taste and serve the creamy sauce, storing any leftovers in an airtight container.
