Whether you’re looking to cut carbs for health reasons or just want some yummy new dinner ideas, searching for low carb recipes can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be! There are tons of tasty low carb, keto, and Atkins-friendly recipes out there – you just need to know where to find them.

When first switching to a low carb or keto diet, it’s easy to rely on the same few easy recipes. But variety is key for sticking to any healthy eating plan long-term. So branch out and try some new low carb recipe ideas! From main courses to sweet treats, you can make low carb versions of all your favorite foods.

For low carb main dishes, focus on recipes that use protein, healthy fats, and plenty of low carb veggies. Skipping the pasta, rice, or bread will automatically cut the carbs.

Some tasty mains to try are:

• Zucchini or squash noodles with meatballs or chicken
• Bunless burgers wrapped in lettuce leaves
• Taco bowls with ground beef and loaded cauliflower rice



• Chicken wings baked with hot sauce or creamy blue cheese dressing
• Egg scrambles with veggies, cheese, and bacon or sausage

The options are endless once you get creative with swapping high carb ingredients for low carb veggies or alternate grains like cauliflower rice. Main course salads are also a great option for keeping carbs down at meal times.

In addition to swapping out pasta, rice, and potatoes, having some tasty low carb side dishes will prevent you from feeling deprived. Some to try are:

• Cauliflower mash
• Zucchini fries
• Cheesy broccoli or brussel sprouts
• Roasted radishes
• Avocado slices
• Deviled eggs

Remember, adding extra fat from sources like olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, and cheese helps keep these low carb veggie sides satisfying.

Just because you’re cutting carbs doesn’t mean no more sweets. You can make or buy low carb desserts that still satisfy your sweet tooth, like:

• Sugar free chocolate mousse
• Strawberry chia pudding
• Coconut macaroons
• Pecan pie bars made with sugar substitute
• Whipped cream with berries

When making low carb baked goods, swap all-purpose flour for almond or coconut flour and use a natural sweetener like monk fruit or stevia instead of sugar. AdaMama and SwaxSweet are two tasty brands that offer keto-friendly cookies, brownies and more.

Here are some top tips to help you succeed on your low carb cooking adventures:

• Prep lots of low carb veggies at the start of each week for easy snacking and sides.
• Cook extra protein like chicken or steak then repurpose leftovers into quick salads or bowls later on.
• Use cauliflower rice and zucchini noodles as your new go-to grain replacements.
• Spice up dishes with herbs, garlic, lemon/lime juice, hot sauce, salsa, etc. to add tons of flavor so you don’t miss the carbs.
• Equip your kitchen with keto-approved ingredients like nut flours, oils, nuts, seeds, alternative sweeteners, and more.

No matter your reason for cutting carbs, following a low carb or keto diet doesn’t mean flavorless food! With so many tasty recipes to try, eating low carb can be enjoyable and sustainable long-term.
