10 Easy Keto Dinner Recipes
Recently, a number of you let me know on Instagram that meal planning on a low-carb diet is a challenge. To help, I’ve put together 10 Easy Keto Dinner Recipes. Most of these dinners are also perfect for a Dairy-Free Diet! Contrary to popular belief, it’s easy to follow a Dairy-Free Diet and Keto Diet at the same time.
10 Easy Keto Dinner Recipes
The Keto Diet isn’t limited to bacon, cheese, and burgers. It consists of a diverse group of incredibly healthy high-fat foods, like salmon, coconut, and avocados! Now you can enjoy every meal while staying true to your low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet. With everything from Shepherd’s Pie to quick and easy Salmon Burgers, you’ll love this low-carb meal plan!
Beef Brisket
“I made this on Friday and there wasn’t even a sliver left after it hit the table. I dearly love this recipe, it brought me right back to my childhood!”
Shepherd’s Pie
While mine is a fairly simple recipe, it takes a few steps to assemble and truth be told, it’s a tad more complex than my other dinners. If you’re looking for a super easy keto dinner recipe to throw together, try my Meatballs served over Spaghetti Squash. Fans adore them saying, “These are absolutely perfect in every way. They also freeze very well. I will keep these in regular rotation and will have some stashed in my freezer forevermore! They’re the best Meatballs I’ve ever had!”
Mac and Cheese Skillet Casserole
Made with 9 ingredients total, including the salt and pepper, this scrumptious dish couldn’t be simpler to throw together for an easy weeknight meal! This rich and creamy casserole can be made with beef or pork and leftovers are easily reheated the next day for a spectacular breakfast along with a side of scrambled eggs.
Green Chili Turkey Burgers
“My husband and I are big fans and are very grateful that you have put in the time and love to create recipes that taste great. We never feel deprived anymore! Specifically, we make this turkey burger recipe along with your “No Potato” Salad and they go great together! Thank you, Elana!”
Mexican Chicken and Rice
I find dinners that are casserole-style and one-pot to be so soothing and comforting. This classic is great in the winter, but we love it so much we eat it all year round! Top with avocado or cheese to kick up the fat!
Baked Mustard Lime Chicken
“I tried this recipe today. The whole family loved it! It was truly delicious and I am so happy I found your website!”
I like to serve Baked Mustard Lime Chicken with Asparagus and Cauliflower Rice for a fiber-filled low-carb dinner. The sauce from the chicken is fabulous when soaked up on our plates by the Cauli Rice! This meal is super healthy and entirely satisfying.
Bacon Tart
Bacon Tart is wonderful made as mini tarts in a cupcake pan. All you need to do is grease a regular sized muffin tin, divide the crust between 12 muffin cups, and bake for 10-12 minutes. Then prepare the filling and spoon it into the baked crust, and do a final bake for another 22 minutes. Cool and serve and you have the most adorable Bacon Tartlet appetizers for a lunchtime cocktail party or evening soiree!
If bacon isn’t your thing, I have an amazing Smoked Salmon Leek Tart in The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook that we often top with goat cheese.
Salmon Dill Burgers
With 7 ingredients total, the Salmon Dill Burgers from this book are a lovely dinner. If you don’t have the book use the Salmon Wasabi Burgers recipe here on my website. Serve either of these burgers with a side salad smothered in my Green Goddess Dressing recipe.
Mustard Salmon Filet
Serve with the Avocado Kale Salad (6 ingredients total) from page 46 of the same book. Pile on more avocado for a refreshing, yet hearty, high-fat meal, and drizzle an extra tablespoon or two of fresh olive oil over the salmon to kick up the fat content another notch! We make this dish all year round, but it’s especially good in the early summer when wild salmon is in peak season. If you don’t have the book you can make the Salmon with Anchovy Olive Tapenade recipe here on the website.
Eggplant Parmesan
This low-carb Eggplant Parm is so good though that I make it all year long. You can find the recipe on page 58 of The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. You’ll also love the low-carb pizza on page 57 of the book, made with a healthy, LCHF almond flour crust.
Nutrition Information
If you’re counting macros, I provide nutrition information for the recipes in my latest book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry. It’s all in this handy sheet that you can preview (and download) right here. This book is full of beloved fan-favorite recipes that are the easiest you’ll find anywhere!
I’ve gone a bit overboard with these 10 Easy Keto Dinner Recipes, ’cause I’ve shared enough for 2 weeks of dinners. I hope you love them as much as we do! What’s your favorite? Which will you make first? Leave a comment and let me know!
