Starting keto is mostly a shopping list problem. You know you are cutting carbs. Working out what actually goes on the plate every night is where most people stall in the first week.
This is a list of 25 easy keto recipes built for exactly that stage: dinners, snacks and desserts that stay low carb without asking you to track down strange ingredients. Most of them use things you already have. Click the link under any recipe for the full instructions.
Keto Beef and Broccoli
Takeout beef and broccoli without the sugary sauce, and it comes together faster than delivery would. A solid weeknight dinner when you are still finding your feet.
Recipe from Noshtastic.
Keto Pizza Bites
Sausage and mozzarella baked into little bites that satisfy a pizza craving without the crust. Good for meal prep because they keep well in the fridge.
Recipe from Maebells.
Keto Pretzel Bites
Soft pretzel bites made from the fathead style dough, which is the trick behind most decent low carb breads. Warm from the oven with mustard is the way to go.
Recipe from Kirbie’s Cravings.
Keto Slow Cooker Taco Soup
Everything goes in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner handles itself. Top it with sour cream, cheese and avocado when you serve it.
Recipe from Hip2Keto.
Easy Keto Jalapeno Poppers
Cream cheese, bacon and jalapenos, which happens to be naturally low carb before anyone adapts anything. These disappear fast at a party.
Recipe from Megan Seelinger.
Best Buttery Garlic Mushrooms
A simple side that works with almost any meat you put next to it. Butter, garlic and mushrooms, and not much else needed.
Recipe from Green and Keto.
Crockpot Keto Chili
Chili without the beans, which is the only change it really needs to fit. Make a big pot and you have lunches sorted for a few days.
Recipe from Sugar-Free Mom.
Keto Peanut Butter Pie
A no bake chocolate and peanut butter pie for when the sweet craving turns up and you do not want to break your streak. Keep it in the freezer.
Recipe from Low Carb Yum.
Keto Egg Salad
Egg salad was already low carb, so this is more about doing it properly than adapting it. Eat it in lettuce cups or straight from the bowl.
Recipe from Tasty Fitness Recipes.
Keto Chicken Tenders
Crispy chicken tenders using a pork rind coating instead of breadcrumbs, and they hold up better than you would expect. A good one for feeding kids the same dinner as you.
Recipe from Low Carb Inspirations.
Keto Brownie Fat Bombs
Rich little brownie bites that handle a chocolate craving in two mouthfuls. Make a batch on Sunday and portion them out.
Recipe from Hungry for Inspiration.
Keto Bagels
Bagels are usually the first thing people say they miss, so this one earns its place on the list. Toast them and load them with cream cheese.
Recipe from Savory Tooth.
Keto Egg Roll Bowl
All the filling of an egg roll in a bowl with no wrapper involved. One pan, about twenty minutes, and it reheats well the next day.
Recipe from Green and Keto.
No Bread Turkey Club
A club sandwich built without the bread, so you still get the bacon and turkey without the carbs. Lunch sorted with almost no cooking.
Recipe from Mad About Food.
Keto Broccoli Cheese Crock Pot Soup
Thick, cheesy and made in the slow cooker, which means it is nearly hands off. Perfect for a cold evening.
Recipe from Fit to Serve.
Keto Chicken Quesadilla
A quesadilla built on a low carb tortilla so you still get the crisp, cheesy result. Cut it into wedges and serve with sour cream.
Recipe from Officially Gluten Free.
Keto Ice Cream
Real ice cream that keeps the carbs down, which is worth knowing about in the middle of summer. Let it soften for a few minutes before scooping.
Recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie.
Keto Chicken Stir Fry
Stir fry is one of the easiest meals to keep low carb, as long as you watch the sauce. Serve it over cauliflower rice.
Recipe from Noshtastic.
Keto Ground Beef Casserole
A proper comfort dish that happens to fit, and it feeds a family out of one dish. Good for a night when everyone eats at different times.
Recipe from Kasey Trenum.
Quick Keto Chili
The pressure cooker version for when you did not plan ahead. Same idea as the slow cooker chili above, ready in a fraction of the time.
Recipe from I Save A to Z.
Keto Tuna Melts
Tuna melts without the bread underneath, which is an easy swap and still hits the spot. Store cupboard ingredients, most of the time.
Recipe from Officially Gluten Free.
Keto Broccoli Cheese Soup
The stovetop take on broccoli cheese soup if you do not want to wait on a slow cooker. Ready in about half an hour.
Recipe from Instrupix.
Keto Sheet Pan Pizza
Pizza on a sheet pan, cut into squares, with a base that holds together properly. A good Friday night when everyone else is ordering in.
Recipe from A Family Feast.
Keto No Bake Cookies
No oven needed, which makes these a quick fix when the craving hits. They set in the fridge while you clear up.
Recipe from All Day I Dream About Food.
Keto Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks
Four ingredients: mozzarella, parmesan, an egg and garlic powder. That does not sound like much, but it makes one of the better low carb snacks on this list.
Recipe from Instrupix.
