Delicious Keto Recipes for Beginners

Transferring to the keto diet can be tricky, as many dishes revolve around carbs. Of course, you can always eat a piece of meat and a serving of non-starchy veggies, but after some time, you will get bored. The good news is – there are SO MANY keto varieties for all the food you already love and eat regularly.

At the very start, it is wise to choose simple and quick recipes that are almost foolproof. When it comes to desserts, some keto varieties are actually way better than the “real” thing, so if you have a sweet tooth, don’t worry! Scroll down for some phenomenal keto recipes that are beginner-friendly! 

Turkey Rolls

Delicious, high-protein, and flavorful.

Keto Pork Chops

If you are looking for easy keto pork chop recipes, this is it!

Oven-baked Salmon with Veggies

Salmon is rich in healthy fats and protein, while the accompanying vegetables like zucchini, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes are low in carbohydrates. The recipe uses minimal carbs, making it a perfect option for those following a ketogenic diet.

Keto Pizza

Keto pizza crust tends to be a tad soggy, but this recipe is superb if you want to avoid that! It is a blend of eggs, cottage cheese, almond flour, and shredded cheddar, so it will be crispy and flavorful. Choose any topping you fancy!

Konjac Spaghetti and Meatballs

Konjac noodles are a fantastic substitute for regular pasta, as they have a pretty similar texture but 0 calories. Ground chicken meatballs are loaded with proteins; just make sure to use keto marinara sauce. 

Taco Casserole

This recipe has just a few ingredients, but it is still full of flavors. Ground beef, eggs, and Mexican cheese are supreme keto ingredients, so you already know this is a fat and protein bomb! Dice some veggies on top to add some fiber and micronutrients.

Breakfast Casserole

Eggs, deli, and cheese are a powerful breakfast trio in the keto diet. This dish is superb to prepare in advance, as it stores flawlessly. You can also make this in a muffin tin if you want pre-portioned pieces. 

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

This is a quick and effortless dinner option – the only task is to slice the veggies and chicken and toss them in the oven. The spice blend skyrockets the flavors of this dish, as it asks for chili, garlic, onion powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Yum!

Keto Brownies

Following the keto diet doesn’t mean never eating your favorite desserts again. Fine keto chocolate, almond flour, and non-caloric sweeteners are the only substitutes the recipe calls for. I must admit, this one is even better than the regular one!

Keto Big Mac Smash Burgers

You can find keto zero-carb tortillas in every store, and they are superb ingredients to stock your pantry with, as you can use them in tons of recipes. There are minimal changes to the original recipe, so you know they will be GOOD!

Keto Sushi Rolls

I love the idea of swapping sticky rice with cream cheese, as it gives the missing creamy component to your sushi! Plus, this cuts the prep time, as these rolls are ready to eat in 15 minutes. Quick and effective!

Cheesy Chicken Fritters

This is a fabulous recipe to prepare for the whole family, and the kids will adore it as well. Finely dice chicken breasts and mix them with eggs, almond flour, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese, plus spices, and shape them as patties. They are incredibly flavorful!

3-Ingredient Coconut Slices

Coconut, butter, and erythritol are the only three ingredients you need to prepare these yummy bars. Of course, this is a no-bake recipe, but you need to freeze them for an hour or so before you are able to cut them out.

3-Ingredient Cheesecake Fat Bombs

If you love cheesecake, this will be your favorite dessert ever! Merry cream cheese, almond butter, and non-caloric sweetener to get a creamy, flavorful bite. If you want a crunchy moment, coat them in dark chocolate chips. 

Chipotle Keto Bowl

The base of the original Chipotle bowl is white rice, so this recipe substitutes it with amazing cilantro lime cauliflower rice. The toppings are simple and packed with nutrients: flank steak, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and sour cream to freshen up the taste.

Low-Carb Vegan Dinner Bowl

Keto recipes can be vegan, as well! Making rice with cabbage is genius, as you don’t see this in every recipe. Tofu, broccoli, avocado, and kale are fabulous toppings, but the almond butter sauce will skyrocket the overall taste!

Low-Carb Wraps

I always make some kind of wrap with deli every time I don’t feel like cooking after a long day. Just swap a regular tortilla for crispy romaine or iceberg salad for a low-carb variety and load it with turkey, ham, bacon, cheese, veggies, and Dijon mustard.

Ground Beef Taco 

If you can’t find mini keto tortillas for tacos, check out this recipe for incredibly crunchy cheese taco shells. Load it with all the things you fancy – ground beef, veggies, salsa, sour cream, cheese…

Stuffed Zucchini Boats

This is one of my favorite meals ever! Carve zucchini boats and load them with ground turkey and marinara-based sauce for a low-carb, high-protein dish. Don’t forget mozzarella and parmesan to boost the flavors!

Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl

Hawaiian poke bowls are true delicacies! The base of this dish involves ahi tuna, edamame beans, riced cauliflower, and avocado. However, the signature spicy mayo and spices are something that makes the most significant change flavor-wise!

Keto Naan Bread and Hummus

Check out this recipe for a keto version of naan bread and hummus. The bread is almond flour and mozzarella cheese-based, while hummus is a well-balanced fusion of cauliflower, tahini, garlic, lime juice, and spices.

Hearty Seafood Chowder

This dish is an absolute comfort food – it is creamy, hearty, and ready in 40 minutes. Whitefish is the star and the most prominent flavor, while other ingredients are there just to round the dish.
