How my High-Protein Keto Rolls turned into a single serving

Sometimes the best recipes don’t start with a plan.

They start with hunger.

This one came together on a very real, very relatable day. I came home after a workout, I was hungry now, and I needed something that felt like a real breakfast, not just a snack. I didn’t want to cook a full meal, I didn’t want to pull out a bunch of ingredients, and I definitely didn’t want to wait.

That’s when this single-serve high-protein keto roll experiment happened and honestly, I didn’t expect it to work as well as it did.

What surprised me most wasn’t just that it worked… it was that it turned into something I immediately wanted to make again.

The Original Recipe That Started It All

This great recipe exists because of the original batch recipe.

My High-Protein Fluffy Keto Low Carb Rolls (makes 6 rolls) have been doing incredibly well on Instagram and Facebook because they taste like regular bread rolls with gluten!

So many of you have been making them, tagging me, leaving comments, and sharing your photos. That feedback is always what pushes me into the kitchen to keep testing.

The original recipe:

• Makes 6 fluffy keto bread rolls
• Uses egg white protein powder for structure
• Has no almond flour, coconut flour, wheat flour, or psyllium husk powder
• Delivers about 12 grams of protein per roll

They’ve been used as hamburger buns, breakfast sandwiches, dinner rolls, and even toasted with melted cheese. Seeing how versatile they are made me wonder…

Could I make just one?

Why I Wanted a Single-Serving Version

Here’s the thing I know many of you relate to- sometimes you don’t need six rolls.

You need one roll.

One roll that:

• Fits a low-carb diet or keto diet and Midlife Macros™
• Has enough protein to actually satisfy you
• Doesn’t spike blood sugar
• Can be made in 10–15 minutes
• Doesn’t require pulling out a food processor

I wanted something closer to a keto biscuit/ roll / keto bun hybrid, but without fathead dough, mozzarella cheese, or cream cheese baked into the batter.

Just eggs.

And protein.

The After-Workout Experiment

I had just gotten home from working out, and I could feel that familiar hunger creeping in, the kind where waiting too long usually leads to poor choices.

I grabbed:

• One egg
• Egg white protein powder
• Plain nonfat Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream)
• Baking powder

That was it. No almond flour, coconut flour, mozzarella cheese, or psyllium husk powder.

I separated the egg, used a milk frother to whip the egg white (it didn’t form stiff peaks, more like frothy milk foam), mixed the yolk with the protein powder and yogurt, folded everything together, and crossed my fingers.

Instead of turning on the oven, I reached for the air fryer. But you could also just bake in a regular preheated oven, it will just take a bit longer.

Turning It Into the Perfect Breakfast

This is where it went from “successful experiment” to I need this again tomorrow.

I popped the sliced roll into the toaster on a regular setting until lightly golden.

Then I topped it with:

• 1 tablespoon cream cheese per side
• Smoked salmon
• Capers
• Homemade pickled onions

It tasted like something you’d order at a café-but it fit my Midlife macros, my low-carb lifestyle, and my post-workout hunger.

This is the kind of breakfast that keeps blood sugar stable, delivers enough grams of protein, and actually feels satisfying.

Nutritional Information is all on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page

For the single roll alone:

• Around 12 g protein
• About 1 grams of carbs

When you add eggs, cream cheese, or smoked salmon, you can easily hit 20–30 grams of protein, which is ideal for midlife metabolism and muscle support.

This is exactly why I love recipes like this- they’re flexible. You can build them around your favorite fillings:

• Eggs and bacon for Breakfast sandwiches
• Keto dinner rolls with any main entree
• Cream cheese with smoked salmon

Why I Love Sharing the Process

Some of my favorite recipes on SugarFreeMom.com came from moments just like this- real life, real hunger, and a little curiosity.

I love showing you not just the polished recipe, but how a recipe comes to be. Because that’s how confidence in the kitchen is built.

If you love this single-serve version, the delicious recipe for the original 6-roll recipe is still my go-to when I want meal prep, family dinners, or freezer-friendly keto bread rolls.

Both have a place.

And sometimes… you just need one roll.

Can I Swap the Greek Yogurt for Cottage Cheese?

Yes, you can, but the texture will be different.

This swap works best if you understand why Greek yogurt behaves better in this recipe.

Plain Greek yogurt is:

• Thick and smooth
• Low in moisture
• Evenly distributed when mixed

That’s why it helps create a lighter, more stable biscuit texture in a single-serve, high-protein recipe like this.

What Happens If You Use Cottage Cheese Instead?

If you use cottage cheese as-is

• The batter will be wetter
• The biscuit may be more eggy
• The center may take longer to set
• Texture will be softer and less uniform

This is because cottage cheese contains more liquid and curds, which don’t blend smoothly on their own.

If someone really wants to swap it, this is the best approach:

• Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
• Blend it first until completely smooth
• Measure the same amount: 1 tablespoon
• Expect a slightly denser, more custard-like biscuit

Even blended, cottage cheese will still produce a less fluffy result than Greek yogurt, but it will work.

Lazy Method (No Egg Separation)

If you don’t want to separate the egg or whip the egg white, you can absolutely make this high-protein keto biscuit using a simpler, mix-and-bake method. Just know that the texture will be denser, not as light as the whipped version.

Can I Use Whey Protein Instead of Egg White Protein?

Yes — but the best choice depends on how you’re making it.

When I tested this recipe with unflavored whey protein, it worked beautifully in the mini waffle maker. The texture was soft, tender, and perfect for protein waffles.

However, for the air fryer roll version, I still recommend using unflavored egg white protein powder.

Here’s why:

• Egg white protein gives more structure and lift.
• It creates a firmer, more bread-like texture.
• It holds its shape better in the air fryer.
• It slices cleanly for sandwiches.

Whey protein is softer and more delicate. In the waffle maker, that’s perfect. In the air fryer roll, it can be slightly too tender and won’t rise the same way.

Here’s the simple breakdown:

Air fryer roll → Egg white protein is best

Mini waffle maker → Whey protein works great

Want the most structure? → Use egg white protein

Want quick and easy waffles? → Whey is a great option

Both versions keep the protein high and fit beautifully into my Midlife Macro Method, especially for midlife women who need adequate protein to protect muscle while keeping fats moderate.

Can I Make This in a Mini Waffle Maker Instead of the Air Fryer?

Yes — and it’s FAST.

A reader shared that she skipped the air fryer and poured the batter into a Mini Dash Waffle Maker — and made two small waffles instead.

So of course I had to try it.

It worked perfectly.

Here’s how:

1. Preheat your mini waffle maker.
2. Pour half the batter into the center.
3. Cook 2–3 minutes (until golden and set).
4. Repeat with remaining batter.

You’ll get:

• Two small protein waffles
• Crispy edges
• Soft interior
• Ready in minutes

This method is quicker than the air fryer and perfect when you want something toast-able or for sandwiches or topped with cream cheese, strawberry jam, eggs, or avocado.

Macros for these two waffles using the unflavored whey protein, egg and plain Greek 2% yogurt is: Calories: 136, Protein: 17g, Carbs: 2g, Fat: 6g

Easy Air Fryer Single Serve High Protein Keto Roll

This easy single serve high protein keto bread is made in under 10 minutes and has 12 grams of protein and just 1 total g of carbs!

Prep Time 2 minutes minutes

Cook Time 8 minutes minutes

Total Time 1 hour hour 5 minutes minutes

Servings 1 roll

Calories 104kcal

Author Brenda Bennett | Sugar-Free Mom

Ingredients

• 1 large eggs separated, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon unflavored egg white protein powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch salt

Instructions

• Place the egg white in a small bowl and use a milk frother to whip it.

  Note: It will look more foamy/frothed (like milk foam) rather than classic stiff peaks — that’s totally fine and still works for this single serving. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together: Egg yolk, Greek yogurt, Egg white protein powder, Baking powder, Salt (if using) Mix until smooth.
• Gently fold the frothed egg white into the yolk mixture. It won’t fully disappear — that’s normal. Just fold until combined.

Air Fryer Method

• Preheat air fryer to 325°F

  Line a shallow 8 ounce ramekin with parchment or liner. Lightly grease the parchment.

  Air fry 8-10 minutes. Check center.

  Return to air fryer for 1- 2 more minutes if needed. Rest 2 minutes before removing.
• Let cool 1–2 minutes. Slice in half. Toast on a regular toaster setting until lightly golden.

Oven Method

• Air fryers cook hotter and faster than conventional ovens, so the oven temperature needs to be slightly higher to achieve the same result.

  Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 14–16 minutes.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. (Let the roll cool completely before storing to prevent condensation.)

Mini Dash Waffle Maker

• Preheat your mini waffle maker.

  Pour half the batter into the center.

  Cook 2–3 minutes (until golden and set).

  Repeat with remaining batter.

Keto Low Carb Salmon Patties

​This is an easy and quick satisfying hot lunch and easy for a meal prep recipe. Air-fry these keto salmon cakes for a super quick high-protein meal. The oven is nearly as fast!

This recipe is versatile too. Don’t like salmon? Replace it with canned tuna (packed in water) or 5 ounces cooked chicken.

The best way I’ve found to stick to my healthy eating goals is having a quick delicious meal that takes just a few minutes to prep and cook. Having simple ingredients on hand for easy low-carb meals is the key to being able to stick to your habits. 

​My goal with this book is to help you learn to make wise food choices more often than you make poor ones so that you can maintain weight loss.

It’s the sequel to my bestselling book The 30-Day Sugar Elimination Diet, which hundreds of people have successfully used to lose weight. 

That book explains how to detox from sugar and refined carbs, and this book teaches you to make better decisions about what you eat despite a food craving, an emotional trigger, or a generally bad day.

There are two parts to this book. Part 1 explains how to apply the Good, Better, Best mindset to every food decision you make, which will allow you to stay on track with your health goals and keep the weight off for good.

Part 2 provides meal plans and 100 delicious low-carb and mostly keto recipes categorized as Good (Enough), Better, and Best, with a back-to- basics whole-food approach and some simple planning and prepping that allows you to decide what you have time to make and how much effort you want to expend:

Good (Enough) recipes take less than 20 minutes.

Better recipes take 15 to 45 minutes, with much of the time for longer recipes being hands-off.

Best recipes require more than 30 minutes. These recipes are for the days you have extra time to meal prep, cook, and enjoy your meals.

Are Traditional Salmon Patties Gluten Free?

No traditional Salmon patties, also known as salmon cakes or salmon croquettes, typically include canned salmon, bread crumbs or crushed crackers, eggs and seasonings like onion, parsley and lemon juice. 

Our Low-Carb Salmon Patties are gluten free and low carb since I am using crushed pork rinds or pork rind panko, egg, cheese, salmon and seasonings. 

Can I use fresh salmon instead?

Cooking time would change since canned salmon is already cooked. You also may need to add more eggs, cheese and pork rinds or even almond flour to bind the salmon mixture together. 

You might like my salmon burger recipe that uses fresh pink salmon, honestly any kind of salmon that is fresh will work for that burger recipe. 

Can I make this with crab?

I’ve tested this recipe using tuna, salmon and cooked chicken, but have not tested this recipe using crab meat. I recommend cooking it before following this recipe to make crab cakes. 

Can I swap the pork rinds?

If you’re not a fan of pork rinds, you can swap it with almond flour or coconut flour, but please note that it will increase your carbs from the nutritional information below in the printable recipe card. 

GOOD BETTER BEST

Sneak peek recipe from my upcoming book Good, Better, Best! 

These quick and easy salmon patties (air fryer or oven!) come straight from the Good chapter — meals that are simple, satisfying, and support your health goals, even on busy days.

Why these ingredients?

• Salmon is full of healthy fats, rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support brain health, reduce inflammation, and help balance hormones — especially important in midlife.
• Fresh parsley adds more than just color — it’s high in vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting immunity and reducing bloat.
• Lemon juice is a natural liver-supporting ingredient that also enhances digestion and adds a refreshing, zesty flavor.

Good, Better, Best is more than a cookbook — it’s a guide to nourishing yourself through real food and realistic habits in every season of life. 

Inside you’ll find practical strategies and flexible meal ideas that take the pressure off doing things perfectly.

Sugar Free Candied Pecans

The holiday season is fast approaching but all I’m thinking is more easy, delicious recipes that help you stick to your keto diet or low carb diet and that require just minutes to make.

This quick snack is the perfect mix when you just need a little something to curb the sweet tooth or just need a great low carb snack on the go!

​All food creators on tiktok- make everything simple, with as few ingredients as possible and the cooking process is always quick using an air fryer or microwave or no baking is needed.

I’ve been doing more and more easy recipes and that’s how this sweet and salty snack came to be. 

​This easy snack is an adaption of my slow cooker sweet candied pecan nuts recipe that makes a large batch on a prepared baking sheet for holiday parties as a sweet treat party snack.

It’s also a great snack to add to a small mason jar with a decorative bow and give as amazing gifts to family and friends who are watching their sugar intake.

​Carbs in Regular Candied Pecans

According the the app Cronometer, 1/4 cup of Trader Joe’s candied pecans has a total of 7 grams of carbs and 2 grams of dietary fiber so that is 5 grams of net carbs.

Though the net carbs might be low, the total carbs are high and this includes high amount of sugar. 

​Our Keto Friendly Candied Pecans

Since we are using a keto brown sweetener instead of regular sugar, we have less total carbs with just 5 grams and just 2 grams of net carbs per serving.

All nutritional information is in the recipe card at the bottom of this page. 

​Health Benefits of Pecans

Pecans contain high amounts of magnesium, calcium, Vitamin A, Vitamin E and zinc which all help your immune system function well and fight off infection. They also contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated healthy fats which help you stay fuller for longer.

I prefer to mix my chopped pecan halves with a monk fruit sweetener that includes allulose and also combine with a liquid keto sweetener like allulose maple syrup.

This combining of different sweeteners is a great way to combat any after tastes of each one used. Any sugar substitutes you like can work in this keto friendly snack. 

​Can I Swap the Fresh Pecans?

If you don’t like pecans, you can swap with any nuts of choice you like. But use fresh, unsalted and un-roasted nuts. Walnut halves would be delicious!

​Can You Freeze these Candied Keto Pecans? 

Yes, you can air fry or bake a larger double batch and freeze in an airtight container or freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.

Slice and Bake Keto Lemon Cookies

I’m about all things lemon over here in my little part of the world and I hope all of you who follow me for great recipes are also lemon lovers!

This easy recipe for a slice and bake sugar free cookie is fantastic for those of us who want simple! Simple it is, with this keto lemon cookie recipe that doesn’t require any rolling out the dough and no need to use a cookie cutter either.

This easy technique has been around forever and even the novice baker can bake these. I adapted these sugar free lemon cookies from my vanilla wafer recipe that are also slice and bake low-carb cookies.

Roll the cookie dough into a log, refrigerate and slice and bake in your AIR FRYER!!

Oven directions are also provided below, but the air fryer is perfect for when you just want to bake a few cookies and not a whole batch.

Slice the dough and store between pieces of parchment paper then freeze. When you just want a couple of cookies, pull them right from the freezer and bake in your air fryer. 

Carbs in Sugar Free Keto Lemon Cookies

Our easy slice and bake keto lemon cookies have just 2 total carbs per cookie and 1 gram dietary fiber.

If you follow a keto diet or low carb diet, this is a really low carb count and won’t kick you out of ketosis!

Low Carb Lemon Desserts

Refreshing lemon flavors are always a welcome taste no matter what season it is.

These slice and bake sugar free lemon keto cookies have the taste of classic lemon cookies and none of the high carbs like traditional white flour  or wheat flour sugar cookies so they won’t spike your blood sugar and cause cravings.

Don’t fear using coconut flour, these do not at all taste like coconut. The lemon flavor is strong and overpowers any coconut flour taste.

Think of them like lemon shortbread cookies. I promise you won’t notice the coconut flavor.

Tools for Easy Keto Cookie Recipe

Stand Mixer– Easy way to mix your batter quickly!

Air Fryer- I have an extra large air fryer because we are a family of 5 and the basket is the perfect size.

Baking Sheet Pan –A large baking sheet pan is needed if you don’t have an air fryer and you are baking these in your oven.

Wire rack- Needed to cool the cookies completely before adding the icing.

The first batch of cookies I tried we set at 350 degrees in the air fryer and they browned way too much as you can see below from this photo. But now worries I just iced the entire cookie and my family still ate them. Next batch, I set the air fryer to 325 degrees and they were perfect!

Are Radish Low Carb and Keto Friendly?

​Radishes are definitely keto and low carb and can be enjoyed regularly. There are two kinds of radish, the typical one you find in the grocery store are the little red radish. 

Daikon radish looks more like a carrot but it’s white in color. Either kind are fine to use for this recipe and both regular red radishes and Daikon radish, have the same amount of carbs and calories.

​One ounce of radish has 5 calories and 1 gram of carbs, according to the app Cronometer I use. 

​I’ve used radish to replace potatoes in my Naturally keto cookbook I made New England Calm Chowder and Zuppa Toscano soup and my family had no idea it was radish and not potato.

Crispy Baked Radish Chips

​You can bake these Daikon radish chips in the oven as long as you make sure to create very thin chips so they bake evenly and crisp up.

I’d recommend tossing the radish slices in a bowl with olive oil before adding seasonings and baking. 

You don’t need to add any olive oil when using the dehydrator as they crisp up well without it. 

Can I make these in the air fryer?

​I did try these at 400 degrees F in my air fryer and they did not bake evenly.

I placed them in a single layer on my air fryer basket and baked for 5 minutes then flipped over and baked another 5 minutes, but some were burnt and some were still soggy. 

In my opinion you will get crispy baked radish chips if you dehydrate as they dehydrate evenly and all crisp up perfectly!

Carbs in Store-Bought Chips 

​Siete chips is one of the brands I buy for my kids because they are made with cassava flour and avocado oil but they are not my food as they are high in carbs.

1 ounce has 18 carbs and 1 gram of dietary fiber so this is not something that would work for someone on a keto diet.

Another brand of store-bought chips I buy my kids is Chicken chips by the brand Wilde. They are made with antibiotic free chicken breast, tapioca starch, sunflower oil, egg whites, chicken broth and a few more ingredients.

For my kids these ingredients are ok, not ideal with the sunflower oil, but not a snack I buy regularly so maybe once a month they enjoy these. 

Though they are made with chicken they have 10 total carbs per bag. Not bad but not something I eat because of the tapioca starch. That ingredient can stall weight loss.  

Can I Store these?

​These radish chips are best if enjoyed fresh after dehydrating or baking.

If needed you could store them in an airtight container but they will loose their crunchy texture. You could try reheating in an air fryer. 

​Can I make these into French Fries?

​Yes you can turn these into Daikon fries instead of chips if you prefer. Simply slice radishes into matchstick size and place into a small bowl.

Toss with olive oil and seasonings and place onto a cookie sheet pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. 

Flip over and bake another 10 minutes until golden brown for the best Daikon radish fries. I must warn you though they will not taste like potato fries but they are just as delicious!

Keto Chicken Wings

If you love salt and vinegar flavors or salt vinegar chips, these keto chicken wings will be your favorite way to enjoy the flavors of those iconic potato chips without the carbs! 

Crispy Wings are the perfect finger food for a football party spread! They are well loved when it comes to game day eats. Most often I’ve seen buffalo chicken wings winning out above the rest, but I’m here to share my vinegar seasoning recipe for a flavor I think will win out with the whole family!

This recipe was first published back in January of 2015! I updated with new photos and brought it out of the archives to share before Super Bowl Sunday! 

Carbs in Battered Chicken Wings

Nutrition facts will vary, but I often use the app Cronometer as it’s quite reliable. If you were to order KFC chicken wings orginial recipe, for 4 wings you are looking at 516 calories with 12.2 grams of carbs.

If you wanted the extra crispy, you’re looking at 714 calories and 19.8 grams of carbs for just 4 wings. 

If you’re following a keto diet, you want to avoid any kind of batter on wings. Most, if not all, batter on chicken wings is made with white refined flour and sugar is most likely added as well.

Either way, not a good option on a ketogenic diet as they will kick you out of ketosis. 

​Carbs in Naked Chicken Wings

Chicken wings that are without any flour coating or batter are essentially zero carbs. For 4 wings, it’s about 356 calories and zero carbs. 

​Though our awesome wing recipe includes seasonings, oil and spices, it is still low carb. The recipe card below shows detailed nutrition information. 

Best Vinegars To Use

White vinegar is good to use, but I opted for apple cider vinegar since it’s quite strong. I wanted to be sure to have that tangy flavor and vinegar taste, but either vinegar would work.

I wouldn’t recommend balsamic vinegar for this recipe as the flavor profile wouldn’t work for a traditional salt and vinegar wing recipe. 

I know you can now buy Buffalo Wild wing seasonings, but the ingredients have maltodextrin and sugar listed so I attempted my own version just adapting the flavors from my Salt & Vinegar Zucchini Chips.

I’ve made them a couple times now and think they are incredibly crispy chicken wings without actually making a mess of deep frying them.

The seasoning works best and has the most flavor after the wings have marinated and then baked in the oven or air fried.

How to Get Crispy Skin

You can see the differences here on the baking sheet for the way I tried adding the seasoning. The 4 wings up front have been rolled and tossed in the seasonings while the rest of them have just been given a sprinkle on both sides.

The hubby was worried by rolling and tossing them in the seasoning it would be too overpowering so I sprinkled on the rest. You can choose to do it however you like.

I actually prefer them to be more heavily coated but that’s just me. These keto wings are finger lickin’ good!

If you’re not keen on Salt & Vinegar Flavored wings, these Crispy Baked Chicken Wings might be more to your liking or maybe these Brown Butter Old Bay Wings, but if you like Spicy, check out these Spicy Oven Chicken Wings!

How to Make Crispy Wings in the Air Fryer

I have an extra large air fryer, but even with that size, I still need to place some of the wings upright along the sides of the air fryer basket. In my large  basket, I can easily fit about 3 lbs of wings.

The beauty of air frying is that you can cut your cook time down. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your wings and how packed your air fryer is. 

Set the air fryer to 400 degrees F. 

Arrange as many wings as you can standing upright around the edges of the air fryer basket.

Then arrange the others standing upright against the ones on the edges until all the wings are standing upright in the air fryer. (This arrangement helps to crisp the wings evenly, as 3 pounds of wins is a lot for an air fryer.) If you do not have a large air fryer, you will need to cook the wings in batches.

Set the air fryer to cook for 20 minutes. Check the wings for crispness. If you prefer them to be very crispy, cook for an additional 5 minutes. 

Best Tips

You don’t necessarily need to add any sweetener to these, but the little bit of Swerve I did add, really enhances the savory flavors of these wings so I do highly recommend using it.

The malt vinegar is optional because you certainly could just taste a wing and decide if it has enough vinegar flavor for your taste buds. I prefer more and used it heavily!

If you decide you’d rather coat the wings as opposed to just sprinkling the dry seasoning on them you may need to double the ingredients.

Keto Salt and Vinegar Chicken Wings (Oven or Air Fryer)

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes minutes

Total Time 45 minutes minutes

Servings 9 @ 4 wings

Calories 361kcal

Author Brenda Bennett | Sugar-Free Mom

Ingredients

• 5 pounds chicken wings
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Dry Seasonings

• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons Swerve sweetener optional
• Optional: Malt vinegar to serve

Instructions

• Lay the chicken wings in a 9 by 13 baking pan.
• Whisk the vinegar and oil together in a small bowl or plastic bag and toss wings in bag or pour over the wings in the pan.
• Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Oven Directions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees .
• Place wings in a single layer on baking sheet pan and bake for 30 minutes. You can also place a wire rack over the baking sheet pan if you don't want as much of the marinade ingredients to absorb into the wings. 
• Whisk the dry ingredients together in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
• Remove the wings from the oven when a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the wing registers 165 degrees F.  Season wings by sprinkling both sides of the wings with the dry mixed seasonings.
• Broil for 3-4 minutes until the skins are golden brown.

Air Fryer Directions

• Set the air fryer to 400 degrees F. 
• Arrange as many wings as you can standing upright around the edges of the air fryer basket. Then arrange the others standing upright against the ones on the edges until all the wings are standing upright in the air fryer. (This arrangement helps to crisp the wings evenly, as 3 pounds of wins is a lot for an air fryer.) If you do not have a large air fryer, you will need to cook the wings in batches.
• Set the air fryer to cook for 20 minutes. Check the wings for crispness. If you prefer them to be very crispy, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle on optional malt vinegar over the hot wings when they come out of the oven.

Notes

Although the marinade uses 1 cup of vinegar and 1/2 oil, much was left in my pan when I removed them to bake. I counted just 1/4 cup of oil and 1/4 cup of vinegar in my nutrition information.

1 serving is 4 wings

 

This recipe was first published in January 2015.

The post 50 Best Low Carb Keto Super Bowl Game Day Recipes appeared first on Sugar-Free Mom.

Whether you celebrate at home or at a friend’s house, New Year’s Eve is just a few days away. It’s a party that requires finger foods and simple tasty bites and this list will fit the bill!

Some might need to be baked and some are just refrigerated until ready to serve, but all can be made ahead for convenience on the day or night of the next party or for game day!

All of these low-carb recipes are easy appetizers and some of our favorite recipes to share with friends and family for holiday parties, even those not on a keto diet.

But if you feel overwhelmed and just not feeling like making any keto or low carb recipes, you can always just throw some pork rinds, some fresh veggies like cucumber slices, sweet bell peppers, olives, cold cuts like salami, pepperoni and some hard cheeses like cheddar, Romano parmesan cheese.

Buy some store bought keto low-carb crackers and keto chips for a simple charcuterie board, which is always a crowd pleaser!  

If you only have a little time, an easy low carb recipe you could also make which is very simple is a Caprese salad. Just layer slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh tomato, fresh herbs, like basil leaves and top with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

I made a cute Christmas wreath I shared on my Facebook page, with this same idea, but I used cherry tomatoes instead of slices and mini cheese balls of mozzarella for a festive look. 

I hope you find this list of 70 low carb and keto recipes very helpful as you continue to pursue your health goals in the coming year ahead!

If you need some help deciding on whether a low carb diet or keto diet is the better option for you, I would encourage you to read this blog post that explains the differences between low carb and keto and I also share my results from switching over to a ketogenic diet. 

​My sugar free journey started back in 2006 and I’ve never looked back. I never feel deprived and never feel FOMO (the fear of missing out) because I choose to make low carb versions of my favorite recipes to enjoy.

This way of life really is sustainable when you decide it can be. Mindset is everything when it comes to keeping weight off.

I know for me, as someone who identified herself as an emotional eater, choosing to think differently about myself and the food I was using to comfort myself, had to change in order for me to make lasting changes in my weight and life. 

​My next Sugar Free Fresh Start Course begins the end of January. It can be done as a self paced study or you can come into the Sugar Free Mom Tribe membership to get weekly coaching by me each week while doing the course together as a group.

I invite you to choose today to reach for more wonderful lifestyle changes for yourself in 2024!

I’m not special, I don’t have super human powers. I’m just a woman who decided to change her habits and rewired her brain. You can do it too! Join me and let me help you reach your goals this coming year!

Classic Caesar Salad Recipe

Classic caesar salads are low carb or keto as long as you remove the traditional croutons usually offered on top of the salad. We add heart-healthy salmon as well as avocado in this delicious salmon salad recipe. We’ve included some options for making your own healthy keto croutons.

​Contrary to popular belief, dietary fat does not make you physically fat. Healthy fat is nothing to fear. Eating a low-fat diet is neither the key to weight loss nor the way to eliminate sugar cravings. The 30-Day Sugar Elimination Diet, Brenda Bennett, page 50

Learning which fats and oils to consume is one of the most important things you can do for your health, longevity and quality of life. 

Healthy fats are essential to a well-functioning body and critical for many purposes, and necessary for certain hormones to function properly.

They also act as building blocks for cell membranes, protect the linings of your organs and help you absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Plus, fat makes food delicious! Enjoying healthy dietary fat can increase your satiety levels and help regulate the speed at which you digest your food. 

Your body and brain function requires a healthy balance of omega 3 fatty acids and omega-6 fats. Unfortunately, omega-6 is abundant in vegetable oils and meat from grain-fed animals, which makes it easier to come by than omega-3.

A dominance of omega-6 can cause inflammation. You want to avoid anything inflammatory because inflammation leads to a host of other issues, especially with keeping your blood sugar balances and losing weight. 

Simple Ingredients for Keto Caesar Salad

Crisp Romaine Lettuce- nice and cold and fresh makes this salad sing!
Creamy ripe avocado, not typically in a Caesar salad but we think it makes it even better!

Capers

Large eggs, hardboiled is best. 

Parmesan cheese, shaved or you could also swap with Parmesan crisps

Fresh chives

Delicious homemade caesar dressing 

Homemade Keto Caesar Dressing

This homemade caesar dressing recipe is easier than you think!

Traditional caesar salad dressing includes raw eggs, most often just yolks, but in our great recipe we use avocado oil mayonnaise in place of raw eggs. Even without the eggs, this is the best caesar dressing! 

If you want to take a short cut and avoid making this easy homemade dressing, you can purchase Primal Kitchen Caesar dressing which is fantastic because they use avocado oil. 

Keto Homemade Croutons

To make a Caesar salad a keto friendly salad, you will either need to make keto bread for homemade croutons or buy a keto bread at your local grocery store or just skip the croutons. 

Keto Bread Options

Coconut Flour Bread

Almond Flour Bread

Cloud Bread

Once you’ve made your keto bread, simply cut it into chunks and allow to dry on a baking sheet pan. You could also toast until golden brown. 

What If I Don’t Have an Air Fryer?

I air fried the salmon but you can totally pan fry it or bake in the oven if you prefer. 

Baked Salmon

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can also bake the salmon. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper and place in a preheated 400 degrees F oven for about 12-14 minutes. 

Pan-Seared Salmon

Heat olive oil or avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place salmon skin side down and sear for about 10-12 minutes. Flip halfway through cooking.  

Use a meat thermometer to check salmon for internal temp 145 degrees F. 

Swap Salmon

If you don’t want to cook salmon at all, simply swap with smoked salmon or even canned salmon.

You could also swap with chicken breasts or tuna if you don’t like salmon. 

Can I Leave out the Anchovy?

If you really hate anchovy, you can leave it out of the dressing, but if you’ve never tried it before, it really gives this creamy dressing that little bit of umami flavor!

How to Make a Keto Salmon Rice Bowl 

White rice is quite high in carbs, so it’s not a good option if you’re following a low carb diet or keto diet.

But you can use the following low carb rice options to make a salmon Caesar Rice Bowl instead of a salad if you prefer!

Cauliflower Rice

Palmini rice

Shirataki Rice

How to Make Ahead

For easy meal prep, prepare salmon fillets, eggs and dressing and store in the fridge for 3 days, then just make the salad fresh when you are ready to enjoy.

How to Store

Store prepared salad in an airtight container for 1 day in the fridge or follow make ahead instructions above.

Oven Fried Green Beans Recipe

What is a super simple way to get my kids to eat vegetables? CHEESE! If you’ve followed me long enough you know I’m all about that cheese!

From Bacon Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole, to Cheesy Cauli Tots, Cheesy Zucchini Bites, to Cheesy Antipasto Stuffed Chicken, it’s always going to win my family members over with cheese in it!

These wouldn’t be their typical choice for dinner, after all, they are children and would prefer french fries!  But I had to try. I even told them they were a new kind of french fry!

They didn’t buy that, but they did all enjoy this simple recipe of oven fried green beans and my youngest even asked for seconds. So to me that’s winning, especially with picky eaters!

Crispy Green Bean Fries ?

I can’t tell you they crisp up just like a french fry because obviously they have no flour and are baked, not fried, but they are finger food material and it works for us as a simple and delicious side dish for dinner. 

This recipe is adapted from my Oven Fried Parmesan Broccoli & Cauliflower florets which my kids love, even the cauliflower!

I figure you can serve most any veggie with some cheese and it might win my kids over, maybe yours too!

Easy, simple, serving up a healthy veggie in minutes………my kind of simple side dish, hopefully yours too!

What to Serve with Crispy Green Beans

Air Fryer Salmon

Pork Tenderloin

Can you make them in the air fryer?

Yes, you can make fried green beans in the air fryer!

Just set the air fryer to 400°F. Then, place the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook the green beans for about 5 minutes, flip them over and cook for another 3-5 minutes.

How do you store fried green beans?

If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but for best results,  eat them the same day you make them.

If you’re a green bean lover, I’ve got a perfect healthy side dish for your Thanksgiving table, Creamy Green Bean Casserole!

black pepper

dijon mustard

Stove Top Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook about 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and internal temperature is 160 degrees F. .

Greek Salad Dressing

We chose to make a simple dressing rather than make a typical tzatziki sauce.

Dressing ingredients

olive oil

vinegar red wine

dried oregano

 salt

 pepper

Greek Salad Ingredients

arugula 

cucumber ( We like English cucumber because it has few seeds and the skin isn’t waxy).

fresh tomato

Yellow, red or green bell pepper 

red onion 

kalamata olives

feta cheese

fresh mint

fresh dill

Squirt of fresh lemon juice to serve, optional

Directions

Add all the salad ingredients to the base of a large mixing bowl. Toss / drizzle with dressing and top with the tasty Greek meatballs. 

FAQs

Can I use ground chicken or ground turkey instead?

Yes if you prefer to swap out the ground beef that is fine.

Can I use lean ground beef?

Yes if you prefer or you could use a combination of ground beef and ground turkey, ground chicken or ground pork.

Can I swap the salad with cauliflower rice instead?

You could eliminate the salad ingredients and just top the Greek meatballs over cooked cauliflower rice then drizzle the dressing over the bowl.

How to Store

After the beef meatballs have cooked and cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

If meal prepping this low-carb meal, prepare the salad veggies and store without dressing the dressing until ready to serve. You can add the meatballs right into the salad container and store the dressing separately.

Easy Keto Low Carb Coconut Shrimp

If you’ve never tried coconut shrimp, now is the time my friends! It’s basically an easy way to enjoy tasty shrimp! Fresh Shrimp coated in shredded coconut which is then fried, pan-fried, baked or even air fried!

You can enjoy this as a meal by adding some delicious Oven Fried Broccoli and Cauliflower and some Miracle Noodles for a complete family friendly low carb meal.

You could also make this for a party and serve as an easy party appetizer with some keto cocktail sauce. Either way you cook them, these coconut fried shrimp will be divine and your family will be asking you to make it again and again! 

If you’re following my 30-Day Sugar Elimination Diet book, this would be another dinner you could swap in any of the 30 days.

Fried Coconut Shrimp versus Air Fryer 

Some people aren’t into frying, I get it. But I will say, if you are following a ketogenic diet, this is the best way to make this keto coconut crunchy shrimp. So tasty when fried in coconut oil in a skillet.

But for those of you opposed to frying, I have given air fryer directions.

We tried this recipe both ways and while the coconut shrimp was just as crispy in the air fryer, the family and I felt the coconut shrimp was tastier and more satisfying when fried in the coconut oil.

In my opinion it does not have an overly strong coconut flavor. Choose your favorite way and enjoy!

Tools to Make Coconut Shrimp

Shallow Bowls– Needed to separate the 3 different coating options to make these crispy shrimp!

Baking Sheet pan– A large sheet pan is needed after prepping the shrimp in the 3 different bowls of mixtures. 

Large Cast Iron Skillet– Cast iron is fantastic because it really crisps up your food and keeps a nice consistent heat in the pan for even cooking. 

Air Fryer (Optional)– I have an extra large air fryer as the standard options are just too small for a family of 5 for dinner. 

How to Make Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp Recipe

Ingredients

raw shrimp peeled, cleaned, tails off

coconut flour

onion powder

paprika

garlic powder

 salt

pepper

eggs

unsweetened coconut flakes

crushed pork rinds (great for replacing bread crumbs in recipes)

salt

Coconut oil for frying option or avocado oil

Optional: squirt of lime juice or lemon juice to serve

Optional Cocktail Dipping Sauce

Sugar Free Keto Cocktail Sauce

Instructions

Set cleaned and peeled shrimp aside in the fridge until your coatings are mixed.

Combine coconut flour, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder and salt and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Set aside.

Place eggs in a second bowl and beat. Set aside.

Add shredded coconut, crushed pork rinds and salt to a shallow bowl and whisk together to combine.

Place 4-5 shrimp into the coconut flour spice bowl and coat on both sides. Dip into egg mixture then coat in shredded coconut and pork rind mixture. Place onto a baking sheet and finish coating the remaining shrimp.

Air Fryer Option

Spray air fryer basket with avocado or coconut oil cooking spray. Place half the shrimp in the basket. Cook for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F. Flip over and cook another 5 minutes or until nicely browned and crispy. Finish with the second batch and follow same procedure.

Regular deep fry method is in recipe card below.

Homemade Low Carb Chips

If you love all things taco flavored, these super easy Low Carb Keto Taco Tortilla Chips are one for your must-make list. They use my almond flour tortillas recipe as the base, then spiced with a homemade taco seasoning with no added preservatives or sweeteners!

You can make these low-carb tortilla chips in the air fryer or your oven. For the ultimate crispy chips, the air fryer method wins. Baking these tortilla chips in the oven are just as delicious, just a touch softer, more like a crisp cracker.

Carbs in Regular Tortilla Chips

Traditional tortilla chips are made with corn flour and/or wheat flour and are very high carbs. One serving which is about 1 ounce or 28 grams, about 10 chips has 19 grams of total carbs.

Carbs in Potato Chips

One ounce of potato chips have about 15 grams of total carbs per serving. But often the unhealthy oils used like soybean oil or canola oil make these a terrible choice as they are highly processed and refined and are highly inflammatory in the body.

Fat head dough also makes great crunchy chips but since it combines mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese with coconut flour like in my keto cheez-its, those with food allergies aren’t able to enjoy them.

Our homemade keto chips have just 4 total carbs and 2 net carbs per serving.

The full recipe card is below at the bottom of this blog post.

Favorite Dips to Serve with Homemade Low Carb Tortilla Chips

These Keto Taco Tortilla Chips are great for dipping into a delicious low-carb dip like:

• Mayo Free Cheesy Spinach Dip
• Spicy Mediterranean Feta Dip
• Homemade Chunky or Restaurant Style Salsa

Keto Low Carb Soups with Keto Tortillas

They also make a great side with a good soup like:

• Easy Keto Taco Soup
• Crock Pot Low Carb Cabbage Roll Soup
• Turn into keto nachos by adding cooked ground beef and your favorite taco toppings like sour cream, salsa, lettuce, cheese and a squirt of lime juice!

How to Make Homemade Keto Tortilla Chips

You will be making two easy keto recipes for these tortilla chips. For the first recipe, you will need some dry spices to make the taco seasoning.

Taco Seasoning Ingredients

• Chili powder
• Onion powder
• Garlic powder
• Oregano
• Cumin
• Smoked paprika

Taco Seasoning Instructions

Prepare the taco seasoning by whisking the simple ingredients together in a small bowl.

Keto Tortilla Chip Ingredients

• Almond flour
• Psyllium husks
• Baking powder
• Xanthan gum
• Salt
• Large Eggs, room temperature
• Egg white
• Coconut oil
• Water

Keto Tortilla Chip Instructions

The first step is to Preheat oven to 355F / 180C / 160 fan.

Place the dry ingredients (almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt and taco seasoning) into a mixing bowl and stir to combine.

Add in the wet ingredients (eggs, oil and water) and mix well. It will be a thick dough.

Place in the fridge to rest for 15 minutes then shape into a ball with your hands.

Cut the ball of dough into 2 pieces. You need two sheets of parchment paper. Place 1 dough ball onto a piece of parchment paper and flatten with your hands. Then, roll thinly using a rolling pin to about the thickness of a coin. (The thinner you roll the crispier they will be, but not so thin that they burn.)

Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Cut into triangles with a pizza cutter. Gather up any dough ends from ball one and include in ball two. Cut remaining dough into triangles. You should have 60 triangles in all.

OVEN DIRECTIONS

Place triangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space around each one so they don’t overlap. Bake for 7- 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Keep an eye on them as cooking times will vary depending on how thin you roll them. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to firm up.

AIR FRYER DIRECTIONS

Spray chips with a little bit of olive oil cooking spray on both sides. Preheat your air fryer if your model requires it. Lay the tortilla chips in a single layer so they don’t touch each other or overlap.

Cook at 335F or 168C for 4 minutes. Allow chips to cool and they will crisp up to a nice crunchy texture. Note: you will need to do this in batches to cook all the tortillas.

Can I make these crunchy tortilla chips nut free?

You can make these almond flour keto taco tortilla chips nut free if you or your family have tree nut allergies.

Simply swap the almond flour for sunflower seed flour in the same amount and you will have perfectly crispy, keto nut free taco tortilla chips!

How to Store Easy Keto Tortilla Chips Recipe

Place any leftover keto tortilla chips in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or air fryer for just a few minutes.

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or olive oil)
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 355F / 180C / 160 fan.
• Prepare the taco seasoning by whisking all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Place the dry ingredients (almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt and taco seasoning) into a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
• Add in the wet ingredients (eggs, oil and water) and mix well.
• Place in the fridge to rest for 15 minutes then shape into a ball with your hands.
• Cut ball into 2 pieces. Place 1 ball between 2 sheets of parchment paper and flatten with your hands. Then, roll thinly using a rolling pin to about the thickness of a coin.
• Remove the top sheet of parchment Cut into triangles. Gather up any dough ends from ball one and include in ball two. Cut remaining dough into triangles. You should have 60 triangles in all.

Oven Method

• Place triangles on a baking sheet with space around each one so they don’t overlap.

  Bake for 7- 10 minutes or until golden. Keep an eye on them as cooking times will vary depending on how thin you roll them. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to firm up.

Air Fryer Method

• Spray chips with a fine spray of olive oil on both sides. Preheat your air fryer if your model requires it. Lay the tortilla chips in a single layer so they don’t touch each other. Cook at 335F or 168C for 4 minutes. Allow chips to cool to crisp up. Note: you will need to do this in batches to cook all the tortillas.

Storage

• Tupperware for 4 days or freezer for 2 .months
