Keto Cauliflower Tots

Sometimes you just want dinner to be cheese; we feel you. For those moments, sneak in some veg with these baked cauliflower tots. (via Brit + Co)

Shrimp Sheet Pan Fajitas

It doesn't get easier than a simple sheet pan supper. Toss your shrimp, peppers, and onions in a spicy marinade, and in less than 30 minutes, you'll be ready to dive in. Don't forget to serve them inside low-carb tortillas. (via Brit + Co)

Chicken "Rice" Bowl

Raise your hand if you've been missing rice bowls while doing keto. This low-carb version uses cauliflower rice instead and does not hold back on the sushi bowl fixings. (via Brit + Co)

Bunless Burger

Good news! Burgers are not totally not off limits on the keto diet. Try layering all the ingredients inside a lettuce wrap. Just remember to use a low-carb barbecue sauce for the special sauce. (via Brit + Co)

Cheesy Brussels Sprouts

You won't even miss macaroni and cheese when you make this rich cheese-coated Brussels sprouts dish, topped with plenty of crispy bacon. (via Brit + Co)

Shredded Mexican Chicken

Mexican night will never be the same now that this keto shredded chicken recipe's here. While there are no tortillas in sight, you can include low-carb versions to form soft-shell tacos. (via Kristie Sullivan / Victory Belt)

Instant Pot Ramekin Eggs En Cocotte

Heavy whipping cream, ghee-sautéed mushrooms, chives, and eggs are pressure-cooked in ramekins within minutes until just set. Serve it along with some cloud bread for breakfast-for-dinner. (via Brit + Co)

Ricotta Meatballs With Zoodles

Say goodbye to boring spiralized zucchini. We love the combination of flavors and textures in this recipe — from juicy, ricotta-filled chicken meatballs to crisp zoodles. (via Brit + Co)

Keto Ramen Noodles

This has all the standard fixings of ramen but has a zoodle base. The best part is that these ingredients can be found at Trader Joe's. (via Brit + Co)

Steak Tacos in Cheese Shells

Sear some seasoned steak and bake up some crunchy cheese shells to have an epic taco night in under an hour. (via Brit + Co)

Cheesy Zucchini Casserole

If you still haven't developed a taste for zucchini, try it smothered with cheese and topped with crunchy pork rinds. (via All Day I Dream About Food)

Keto Pad Thai

Rice noodles make this dish usually too carb-heavy (a keto no-no). The filling, high-fiber Shirataki noodles (made from vegetable starch) are the best part. You can enjoy a whole bowlful. (via Hello Glow)

Low-Carb Cauliflower Cottage Pie

A hearty keto shepherd's or cottage pie is totally possible with the help of a luscious cauliflower purée topping. (via The Sophisticated Caveman)

Easy-to-Prepare Caprese Chicken Keto Meal

You can't quit Italian food cold turkey; therefore, find a keto-fied recipe like this one. Anything with plenty of melted cheese is welcome in our book. (via Sweet Peas and Saffron)

Easy Cashew Chicken

Use arrowroot powder (over cornstarch) and swap in Swerve's brown sugar to keep things as low-carb as possible. FYI, it's made in a slow-cooker, but you could easily stir-fry it over medium-high heat if you're looking for a meal in minutes. (via The Recipe Critic)

Keto Fried Chicken

Heat up the oil, and prepare to experience an intense flavor symphony. Whisk together a spicy almond-flour blend for dipping these chicken pieces in, and it might even rival fast food joints. (via Savory Tooth)

Tuna-Stuffed Avocados

If you have trouble staying full on the keto diet, you may want to try adding more heart-healthy fats like those from avocados. These are stuffed with tuna and topped with sriracha for good measure. (via Salt and Lavender)

Creamy Cauliflower Chowder

Those new to the keto way of life may miss things like potato soup. When that craving hits, make this comfort-food recipe. (via My Food Story)
