Easy Keto Dinners (40 Recipes)

The hardest part of eating low carb is not the carbs. It is 5:15 in the evening with no plan. I wrote Easy Keto Dinners for that exact moment, so the decision is already made and the shopping is short.

Most of the forty recipes use ten ingredients or fewer, and they are built around the tools you already own: a big skillet, a sheet pan, a slow cooker and an instant pot. Net carbs stay between 2 and 9 grams per serving, so a family dinner fits your day without a spreadsheet.

Three samples from the book

• Garlic Butter Skillet Chicken Thighs: serves 4, 10 min prep, 25 min cook. About 2 g net carbs, 34 g protein and 28 g fat per serving (estimated). Key ingredients: 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, 3 tbsp butter, 5 cloves garlic, 1 tsp smoked paprika. Tip from the page: Use thighs rather than breasts, they stay juicy and forgive a few extra minutes in the pan.
• Baked Lemon Herb Salmon with Asparagus: serves 4, 10 min prep, 15 min cook. About 4 g net carbs, 34 g protein and 24 g fat per serving (estimated). Key ingredients: 4 salmon fillets, 1 lb asparagus, 3 tbsp melted butter, 1 lemon. Tip from the page: Pull the salmon out at 140F, carryover heat finishes the cooking.
• Smothered Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy: serves 4, 10 min prep, 25 min cook. About 4 g net carbs, 36 g protein and 30 g fat per serving (estimated). Key ingredients: 4 bone-in pork chops, 8 oz mushrooms, 2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp olive oil. Tip from the page: Let the chops rest 5 minutes so the juices settle into the gravy.

Who it is for

You want to eat low carb without a stack of specialty ingredients and without doing math at the stove. Every recipe lists estimated net carbs, protein, fat and calories per serving, worked out from standard ingredient values. Brands vary, so check your own labels if you track precisely.

I cook for a real household, so portions are real, times are honest and every recipe ends with a tip that saves a mistake. Nothing here needs a special appliance or an online order.

Every page is written to be cooked as printed. Print the ones you like, tape them inside a cabinet door and cook your way through the week.
