Bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until they’re golden brown and serve with a side of ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
Cauliflower Fried Rice
This easy dish is perfect for busy nights when you don’t have much time to cook dinner. Start by grating cauliflower florets into “rice”-sized pieces. Then sauté the cauliflower with some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until it’s tender but still slightly crunchy. Add in diced onions, garlic, carrots, peas if desired, soy sauce or coconut aminos for flavor, and scramble an egg if desired as well. Serve hot as is or topped with sesame seeds and green onions for extra flavor!
Keto Taco Salad Bowls
These taco bowls are packed full of flavor without all the carbs from traditional tortillas or taco shells. Start by prepping your favorite ingredients like seasoned ground beef or chicken breast cooked in taco seasoning mix, grated cheese, lettuce leaves, tomatoes, avocado slices or guacamole (for added fat), sour cream (optional), jalapeños (optional), etc... Place all ingredients into separate bowls so everyone can build their own bowl however they like it!
Shrimp Scampi Zoodles
Zoodles are spiralized vegetables that make delicious low-carb substitutes for pasta dishes like shrimp scampi which usually calls for spaghetti noodles made from white flour. To make this dish start by spiralizing zucchini into noodles - cook these briefly on their own before adding cooked shrimp along with white wine garlic butter sauce - add freshly chopped parsley at the end for extra flavor! Serve hot topped with more Parmesan cheese if desired!
Cheesy Broccoli and Bacon Egg Muffins
