Keto Avocado Egg Salad

Kicking off my week with a refreshing and hearty Keto Avocado Egg Salad has become a ritual for me, especially during these warmer months. It’s the perfect blend of creamy and crunchy, and the best part? It’s incredibly easy to whip up, even on my busiest mornings.

Ingredients

• 2 large avocados, ripe but firm (I’ve learned the hard way that too soft avocados turn the salad mushy)
• 4 hard-boiled eggs, cooled and peeled (room temp eggs peel so much easier, trust me)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise (I swear by the full-fat version for that rich texture)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed makes all the difference)
• 1/2 tsp salt (I like to use Himalayan pink salt for its subtle flavor)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tbsp red onion, finely diced (for a bit of crunch and zing)

Instructions

1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the peeled hard-boiled eggs to the bowl and mash them together with the avocados using a fork. I like to leave some chunks for texture.
3. Stir in the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until everything is well combined. Tip: The lemon juice not only adds flavor but also keeps the avocados from browning.
4. Fold in the diced red onion gently to distribute it evenly throughout the salad. Tip: Soaking the diced onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding can mellow its sharpness if you prefer.
5. Give the salad a final taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Tip: If you’re feeling adventurous, a pinch of smoked paprika adds a lovely depth.

Mmm, the creaminess of the avocados and eggs paired with the tangy lemon and crunchy onions is just divine. I love serving this salad on a bed of crisp lettuce leaves or with a side of keto-friendly crackers for an extra crunch.

Low-Carb Cauliflower Fried Rice

Over the years, I’ve tried countless ways to make cauliflower fried rice, but this low-carb version is the one that sticks. It’s a game-changer for busy weeknights when you’re craving something hearty yet healthy. Here’s how I make it, with a few personal twists along the way.

Ingredients

• 1 large head of cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups) – I find the pre-riced bags a lifesaver for busy days.
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil – my go-to for its flavor and health benefits.
• 2 large eggs, beaten – I prefer room temp eggs here for even cooking.
• 1 cup diced carrots – for that sweet crunch.
• 1/2 cup frozen peas – no need to thaw, they cook quickly.
• 2 cloves garlic, minced – because garlic makes everything better.
• 3 tbsp soy sauce – or tamari for a gluten-free option.
• 1 tsp sesame oil – just a dash adds incredible depth.
• Green onions, sliced – for a fresh finish.

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Tip: A non-stick skillet works best to prevent sticking.
2. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the carrots for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
4. Add the garlic and frozen peas, cooking for another 2 minutes. Tip: Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
5. Stir in the riced cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes, until it starts to soften. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
6. Mix in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then return the scrambled eggs to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring well.
7. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Best served hot, this cauliflower fried rice has a satisfying texture that’s surprisingly close to the real thing. The sesame oil and soy sauce bring a rich umami flavor that pairs perfectly with a sprinkle of extra green onions on top. Try it alongside grilled chicken or shrimp for a complete meal.

Cheesy Keto Zucchini Fritters

Did you ever think that going keto would mean saying goodbye to all things crispy and cheesy? Well, think again! I stumbled upon this recipe during my quest for low-carb alternatives that don’t skimp on flavor, and let me tell you, these Cheesy Keto Zucchini Fritters are a game-changer. They’re perfect for those lazy Sunday brunches or when you need a quick snack that’s both satisfying and guilt-free.

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis, grated (I always squeeze out the excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel for extra crispiness)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (because let’s be honest, more cheese is always better)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the real deal, none of that powdered stuff)
• 1 large egg, beaten (room temp eggs blend better, in my experience)
• 2 tbsp almond flour (a great low-carb thickener)
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for frying)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (for that kick of flavor)
• Salt and pepper to taste (but don’t be shy, seasoning is key)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (about 350°F). You’ll know it’s ready when a small piece of the mixture sizzles upon contact.
3. Form the mixture into small patties, about 1/4 cup each, and carefully place them in the skillet. Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
4. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. A little tip: resist the urge to flip them too early. Let them get that perfect crust.
5. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Another tip: they’ll crisp up even more as they cool slightly.
6. Serve warm. For an extra touch, I love topping them with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with cheesy goodness, these fritters are a keto dream come true. Try serving them alongside a fresh salad for a light meal, or stack them high for an impressive appetizer at your next gathering.

Creamy Garlic Butter Shrimp

Wondering what to whip up for dinner that’s both luxurious and lightning-fast? I stumbled upon this Creamy Garlic Butter Shrimp recipe during one of those hectic weeknights, and it’s been a game-changer. The combination of succulent shrimp bathed in a rich, garlicky butter sauce is nothing short of magical.

Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (I always keep the tails on for that fancy restaurant look)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter (because salted can throw off the dish’s balance)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced (fresh is best, but hey, we’ve all been in a pinch)
• 1 cup heavy cream (this is where the magic happens)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the real deal, please)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin is my kitchen staple)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to season, but we’ll get specific in the steps)
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (for a gentle kick, adjust to your heat tolerance)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for that pop of color and freshness)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the shrimp in a single layer, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until just pink. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
5. Stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
6. Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Here’s the deal: the shrimp are tender, the sauce is velvety with a hint of spice, and it’s all ready in under 20 minutes. Serve it over a bed of al dente pasta or with crusty bread to soak up every last drop of that creamy goodness.

Keto Chicken Alfredo Bake

After a long day, there’s nothing more comforting than digging into a creamy, cheesy dish that doesn’t derail your keto goals. That’s exactly why this Keto Chicken Alfredo Bake has become a staple in my kitchen—it’s indulgent yet guilt-free, and oh-so-easy to whip up.

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (I love using rotisserie chicken for extra flavor)
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (the richer, the better in my book)
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated makes all the difference)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (because garlic is life)
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for sautéing)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning (for that herby kick)
• 1/2 tsp salt (I prefer sea salt for its subtle crunch)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground, please)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for that perfect melt)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, then bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Add the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Mix in the shredded chicken, ensuring it’s fully coated with the Alfredo sauce.
6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top evenly with mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
8. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.

With its creamy texture and rich flavors, this Keto Chicken Alfredo Bake is a dream come true for anyone on a low-carb diet. Serve it over zucchini noodles for an extra veggie boost or enjoy it as is for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Keto Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

Last weekend, I stumbled upon the perfect keto-friendly appetizer that’s as easy to make as it is delicious—bacon-wrapped asparagus. It’s become my go-to for impressing guests without spending hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh asparagus spears (look for thick ones—they wrap better!)
• 8 slices bacon (I swear by thick-cut for that perfect crisp)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin is my kitchen staple)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (because everything’s better with garlic)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground, if you’re feeling fancy)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears—about 1 inch from the bottom—to ensure they’re tender.
3. In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated. This little step makes all the difference in flavor.
4. Divide the asparagus into 8 small bundles. Wrap each bundle with a slice of bacon, starting at the bottom and spiraling upwards. Tip: Don’t wrap too tightly; the bacon will shrink as it cooks.
5. Place the wrapped bundles on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, to keep them from unraveling.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender. Tip: Halfway through, flip the bundles for even cooking.
7. For an extra crispy finish, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning.

Velvety asparagus meets crispy, smoky bacon in every bite—this dish is a textural dream. Serve it atop a creamy cauliflower puree for an elegant twist, or enjoy it straight off the baking sheet (no judgment here).

Keto Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Zesty flavors and quick dinners are my weeknight saviors, and this Keto Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry is no exception. It’s a dish that reminds me of my first attempt at keto cooking—simple, satisfying, and surprisingly flavorful.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs flank steak, sliced thin against the grain (I’ve found this cut to be the most tender for stir-frys)
• 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh is my preference, but frozen works in a pinch)
• 3 tbsp avocado oil (extra virgin olive oil is my go-to, but avocado oil has a higher smoke point)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a soy-free version)
• 2 tbsp erythritol (a keto-friendly sweetener that doesn’t spike blood sugar)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (because more garlic is always better)
• 1 tsp ginger, grated (fresh ginger adds a punch that powdered just can’t match)
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to your heat preference)

Instructions

1. Heat 2 tbsp of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the sliced flank steak to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Tip: Let the steak sear without moving it to get a nice crust.
3. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of avocado oil and the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender. Tip: A splash of water can help steam the broccoli if it’s not cooking evenly.
5. Push the broccoli to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the other side. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then mix with the broccoli.
6. Return the steak to the skillet and add the soy sauce, erythritol, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the steak is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly. Tip: If the sauce is too thin, let it simmer for an extra minute.

Unbelievably tender beef paired with crisp-tender broccoli makes this dish a keto dream. Serve it over cauliflower rice for a complete meal, or enjoy it straight from the skillet—I won’t judge.

Keto Chocolate Fat Bombs

Just when I thought my keto journey couldn’t get any sweeter, I stumbled upon the magic of Keto Chocolate Fat Bombs. These little delights have become my go-to for satisfying those pesky sugar cravings without breaking my carb limit. Let me share how I whip them up in my kitchen, often with a little dance to my favorite tunes.

Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut oil (I love the subtle tropical flavor it adds)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (the darker, the better for that rich chocolatey depth)
• 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (my sweetener of choice for a guilt-free treat)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (a splash of this makes all the difference)
• A pinch of sea salt (to balance the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor)

Instructions

1. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. This makes for easy removal and cleanup.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Keep an eye on it to prevent overheating.
3. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. Tip: Sifting the cocoa powder prevents lumps.
4. Stir in the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and sea salt until fully combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about 3/4 full.
6. Freeze for 30 minutes, or until solid. Tip: They set faster in the freezer than the fridge.
7. Once set, pop them out of the liners and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Tip: They melt quickly, so handle with care.

So there you have it, my foolproof recipe for Keto Chocolate Fat Bombs. The texture is luxuriously smooth, almost like a truffle, with a deep chocolate flavor that’s perfectly balanced by the sweetness of erythritol. I love serving these chilled with a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra flavor punch.

Keto Avocado Chocolate Mousse

Every time I crave something sweet but want to stay on track with my keto diet, this Avocado Chocolate Mousse is my go-to. It’s surprisingly simple to whip up, and the creamy texture is just divine. I remember the first time I made it; my friends couldn’t believe it was keto-friendly!

Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados – the creamier, the better for that smooth texture.
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder – I love using dark cocoa for a richer flavor.
• 1/3 cup heavy cream – makes it extra fluffy.
• 1/4 cup powdered erythritol – my favorite keto-friendly sweetener.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract – always pure vanilla for the best taste.
• A pinch of salt – just to balance the sweetness.

Instructions

1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender.
2. Add the cocoa powder, heavy cream, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender.
3. Blend on high speed for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is completely smooth. Tip: Scrape down the sides of the blender halfway through to ensure everything is well incorporated.
4. Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a bit more erythritol. Tip: The sweetness can vary depending on the ripeness of your avocados.
5. Transfer the mousse to serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let it set. Tip: Chilling it longer enhances the flavors, so if you can wait, give it 2 hours.

Rich and velvety, this mousse is a dream come true for chocolate lovers. Serve it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top or some fresh berries for a pop of color and freshness.

Spicy Keto Meatballs

Zesty flavors and a kick of heat make these Spicy Keto Meatballs a must-try for anyone looking to spice up their meal prep. I stumbled upon this recipe during a lazy Sunday experiment, and now it’s a staple in my kitchen for its bold flavors and simplicity.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (I find 80/20 works best for juicy meatballs)
• 1/2 cup almond flour (a great keto-friendly binder)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the real deal, not the powdered stuff)
• 1 large egg (room temperature eggs blend better, trust me)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin is my go-to for its fruity notes)
• 1 tbsp garlic powder (because garlic makes everything better)
• 1 tbsp onion powder (for that subtle sweetness)
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust based on your heat tolerance)
• 1 tsp salt (I prefer sea salt for its clean taste)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground for maximum flavor)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined—overmixing can lead to tough meatballs.
3. Form the mixture into 1.5-inch balls (a small ice cream scoop works wonders here) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
4. Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil before baking to help them brown beautifully.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
6. Let the meatballs rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

With a crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior, these Spicy Keto Meatballs are a flavor explosion. Serve them over zucchini noodles for a complete keto meal, or enjoy them as a protein-packed snack straight from the fridge.

Keto Cheeseburger Casserole

Just when I thought my keto journey couldn’t get any more delicious, I stumbled upon this cheeseburger casserole recipe that’s become a weeknight staple in my house. It’s the perfect comfort food that doesn’t skimp on flavor or leave you missing the carbs.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (I like using 80/20 for that perfect fat ratio)
• 1 cup diced onions (because everything’s better with onions)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best, but I won’t judge if you use pre-minced)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin is my kitchen hero)
• 1 cup heavy cream (for that rich, creamy texture we all love)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar gives it a nice bite)
• 1/2 cup sugar-free ketchup (trust me, you won’t miss the sugar)
• 1 tbsp mustard (yellow or Dijon, depending on your mood)
• 1 tsp salt (I prefer sea salt for its clean taste)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground makes all the difference)
• 4 large eggs (room temp eggs blend smoother into the mixture)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Tip: Break it up as it cooks for even browning.
3. Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
4. Stir in the heavy cream, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly. Tip: This prevents the eggs from scrambling when added.
6. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then stir them into the beef mixture until well combined.
7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
8. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. Tip: For a crispier top, broil for the last 2 minutes.

Absolutely divine, this casserole comes out with a creamy interior and a cheesy, slightly crispy top that’s reminiscent of your favorite cheeseburger. Serve it with a side of pickles or a crisp green salad for a complete meal that’s sure to satisfy.

Keto Blueberry Muffins

Very few things bring me as much joy as a warm, freshly baked muffin with my morning coffee. Especially when it’s a keto-friendly version that doesn’t skimp on flavor or texture. Today, I’m sharing my go-to recipe for Keto Blueberry Muffins, a recipe that’s become a staple in my kitchen for its simplicity and delicious results.

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour – I find that blanched almond flour gives the best texture, but any will do in a pinch.
• 1/3 cup erythritol – This is my sweetener of choice for keto baking, but feel free to use your preferred sugar substitute.
• 1 tsp baking powder – Always check the expiration date to ensure your muffins rise properly.
• 1/4 tsp salt – Just a pinch to balance the sweetness.
• 3 large eggs – I prefer room temperature eggs here; they blend more smoothly into the batter.
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil – Extra virgin olive oil is my go-to, but coconut oil works beautifully here for a subtle tropical hint.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract – The real deal, please! Imitation just doesn’t cut it.
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries – Frozen works too, but don’t thaw them to avoid a soggy batter.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well. This ensures your muffins won’t stick.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined. A whisk helps break up any clumps for a smoother batter.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Adding the eggs one at a time ensures a more uniform mixture.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so stop when you no longer see dry flour.
5. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen, toss them in a bit of almond flour first to prevent sinking to the bottom.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. This gives them room to rise without overflowing.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Ovens vary, so start checking at the 20-minute mark.
8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They’re delicate when hot, so this step prevents them from falling apart.

Fresh out of the oven, these muffins have a tender crumb and bursts of juicy blueberries in every bite. I love serving them slightly warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Grilled Chicken with Avocado Salsa

Just last weekend, I found myself staring at a pile of ripe avocados on my kitchen counter, wondering how to turn them into something extraordinary. That’s when the idea of Grilled Chicken with Avocado Salsa came to mind—a dish that’s as vibrant in flavor as it is in color.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I always go for organic, free-range for the best flavor)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin is my pantry staple)
• 1 tsp salt (I love using Himalayan pink salt for its subtle mineral notes)
• 1 tsp ground black pepper (freshly ground makes all the difference)
• 2 ripe avocados (the slightly soft to touch ones are perfect)
• 1/2 cup diced red onion (for that crisp bite)
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust according to your heat preference)
• Juice of 1 lime (trust me, the fresher, the better)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (I can’t imagine salsa without it)

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F. A well-heated grill ensures those beautiful char marks.
2. Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season evenly with salt and black pepper.
3. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Tip: Avoid flipping more than once to keep it juicy.
4. While the chicken grills, dice the avocados and combine them with red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Gently toss to mix. Tip: Adding the lime juice right away prevents the avocados from browning.
5. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
6. Serve the grilled chicken topped with the avocado salsa. Tip: For an extra crunch, serve with a side of tortilla chips.

The grilled chicken is wonderfully tender and juicy, perfectly complemented by the creamy and slightly tangy avocado salsa. This dish is a surefire way to bring a burst of freshness to your dinner table.

Keto Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Never did I think I’d find a pizza crust that satisfies my keto lifestyle until I stumbled upon this cauliflower version. It’s a game-changer for those of us craving pizza without the guilt, and trust me, it’s so good you won’t miss the traditional dough.

Ingredients

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, riced (about 3 cups) – I find the pre-riced bags at the store a real time-saver.
• 1 large egg, beaten – Room temperature eggs blend better, in my experience.
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – The meltier, the better for that perfect stretch.
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese – Adds a nice salty kick.
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano – For that classic pizza flavor.
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder – Because everything’s better with garlic.
• 1/4 tsp salt – Just enough to enhance all the flavors.
• Extra virgin olive oil – My go-to for greasing the pan.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease it with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. If you’re starting with a whole cauliflower, rice it by pulsing florets in a food processor until it resembles grains of rice. Steam the riced cauliflower for about 4 minutes, then let it cool slightly.
3. Wrap the steamed cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a crispy crust.
4. In a large bowl, mix the squeezed cauliflower, beaten egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
5. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a 9-inch circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. The thinner, the crispier.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is firm to the touch.
7. Remove from the oven, add your favorite toppings, and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.

What you’ll love about this crust is its surprisingly crisp texture and the way it holds up to all your favorite toppings. Serve it with a side of marinara for dipping, or get creative with a pesto base for a fresh twist.
