Easy low carb or keto recipes?

youre gonna struggle, can't lie. but one of my fav recipies that meets your requirements is pepper tacos. make regular tacos as usual, i switch from ground beef and ground chicken or turkey depending on whats on sale. once you add spices it all tastes same anyway, but instead of shells but them on lettuce leafs or what i do is slice peppers in boat" form and place meat, cheese, salsa, and turkey pepperoni on top. delicious and pretty simple and a good knock off of normal tacos b/c of crunch of peppers.

I don't personally care for cauliflower mashed potatoes BUT I do make a really yummy cauliflower fried rice. It is actually very good if you take the time to do it properly. I'm honestly not a cauliflower fan ordinarily but the fried rice is actually very good (I buy frozen riced cauliflower--the fried rice takes about 10 minutes to make).

I do make zucchini noodles. It honestly isn't as much work as you imagine. It isn't more work than chopping up veggies. I don't really cook with zucchini much during the winter (I live in a northern climate) because of the price. I cook with zucchini a lot in the summer.

One dish I make to meal prep for work is egg roll in a bowl. You can use any meat you want (I personally prefer chicken breast). You can use the bagged coleslaw veggies (cabbage and carrots, basically) to save time. You just cook your chicken (I prefer to bake mine in a bit of soy sauce). In a big pan you saute a little garlic in some olive oil, then add your coleslaw veggies and toss around with a few tbsp of soy sauce. Add your protein and you are done. I personally like adding about 1/4 tsp of sesame oil for a more authentic flavor. It makes a fabulous low-carb lunch and I find it filling.

I also enjoy making zucchini lasagna--but you really need to be sure you sweat the zucchini first in a warm oven or it will be quite watery. I often use ground turkey as the protein in mine (personal preference).

When I'm in the mood for a sandwich I just use a low-carb wrap and add my meat, cheese, and veggies to that. BLT salads are also really great!

I stick to my meal plans by batch-cooking lunches for the week. That is what keeps me on track. Good luck!!!

Also, I hate cauliflower rice, etc. It’s too bitter. But! We tried the Green Giant cauliflower mash with bacon the other night and it really was good. It’s low carb. I added a touch of cheese on mine. I would absolutely buy it again for times I feel like mashed potato comfort food. 👌🏼

I agree that the taste of things like cauliflower are all in the way we cook it! I am normally not a fan at all. I will say that I don't aim for keto, just low carb (for medical reasons).

I also love to make (what I call) a naked burger salad. A burger on top of lettuce with tomatoes and bacon and cheese. No need for the bun!!! I am the only low-carber in my home so I end up modifying dinners for myself a lot and this modification is super easy. I also enjoy my burger wrapped in lettuce when we are out at restaurants. I also LOVE sweet potatoes. I will make them for myself when the rest of the family has regular potatoes.

I don't know if you like pepperoni but I've been making pepperoni chips as snacks--just cook the pepperoni at 400 degree for 5 minutes, blot up the grease, back into the oven for another minute and then let drain on a paper towel. They are nice and crispy and spicy. It works best if you have an oven that also has a convection mode. I also do bacon in the oven this way, only it takes longer to cook.

I eat a lot of hard boiled eggs as snacks. I also enjoy ranch dip (made with sour cream and a hidden valley ranch packet) with cucumbers, peppers, or carrots. When I'm in the mood for sweet I will add a little whipped cream to greek yogurt with berries. Yum!
