What’s not to love about fried fish tacos? Only the keto-unfriendly flour, bread-crumb coating, and tortillas that makes them so tasty! We were debating what we could use instead for the kind of crunch that bread crumbs give, and a colleague came up with the brilliant idea of using fried pork rinds, or chicharones. They […]
These crave worthy, tender salmon burgers are made with keto friendly fatty farm-raised salmon but we also bulked up the fat content with mayo in the sauce and the patties. To prevent our burgers from drying out as they grilled, we needed to add moisture without overpowering the fish’s rich flavor with mayo. We made
If you love sushi, you’ll love this keto bowl reminiscent of sushi flavors, without the carb-heavy rice. We wanted it to be hearty enough for a meal so we combined tuna with cauliflower rice, adding cucumber, seaweed, scallion, and Japanese-inspired seasonings for satisfying taste.

Lamb is tender, juicy, fatty, and flavorful—the perfect keto protein. Given the right cut, it can cook quickly, too, so we chose rib or loin chops. Unlike leg of lamb, chops are smaller and take less time tocook so they can be made on a weeknight and you won’t have to worry about left-overs. For
Involtini is an Italian dish of eggplant planks rolled around a creamy seasoned cheese filling. We wanted to develop a version that was impressive enough to serve a crowd, yet fit within the keto diet guidelines. Traditional recipes require a multistep process of salting the eggplant, breading and frying it, and rolling it around a
Based on the traditional Vietnamese street food, bun cha, these pork and noodle bowls consist of flavorful pork patties atop soft noodles, eaten with fragrant herbs, crisp lettuce, cucumber, and a rich, tangy sauce.
