The 12 Best keto recipes

1. Keto Fathead Pizza

Low-carb, gluten-free pizza. You wouldn’t have guessed it based on the flavor, because it’s nutty and creamy, but this is a pizza you can eat while following a ketogenic diet.

It’s made with a crust comprising almond flour, mozzarella, and cream cheese, then topped with your choice of keto-friendly toppings.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• Your choice of pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers)
• 1/4 cup sugar-free pizza sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Set the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).

2. In a bowl that can go in the microwave, mix together the mozzarella cheese and the cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until the two are melted and smooth, stirring after each interval.

3. In the cheese mixture, incorporate the almond flour, egg, and baking powder. Mix until a dough forms.

4. Between two sheets of parchment paper, roll the dough to your desired thickness. Using a baking sheet, transfer the dough from its top parchment layer.

5. About 8-10 minutes later, when the crust has turned a beautiful golden-brown color, take the pizzas out of the oven. Your yeast-risen dough should now look and feel more like bread. It should smell heavenly and be visibly fluffy. You may have to fight the urge to eat the crust as is; it could be the best part of the entire pizza.

6. Put the pizza back in the oven and bake it for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the toppings are done and the cheese is nice and bubbly.

2. Keto Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Keto Cauliflower Mac and Cheese is a low-carb meal that brings together tender cauliflower florets, heavy cream, and melted cheddar cheese. This is a dish that manages to be creamy and rich without any actual macaroni—making it a pretty great alternative for those who want to keep their carb count down.

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Set the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). In a very big pot, boil some salted water and then add the cauliflower florets. Let the cauliflower boil in the salty water until they are tender, which should take about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside the cauliflower in a baking dish.

2. In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the cream, butter, and cream cheese. Stir over medium heat until smooth and fully melted.

3. Add the garlic powder and the shredded cheddar cheese to the saucepan. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is creamy. Season it with salt and pepper.

4. Place the cheese sauce on top of the cauliflower in the baking dish. Stir until every bit of cauliflower is covered with sauce. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the top is bubbly and golden. Serve warm.
