What are some easy low carb zucchini recipes?
As I mentioned, zucchini is a staple in our house. I use this often for easy casseroles. Creating “zoodles” or zucchini noodles with a spiralizer is a great way to sub noodles in any dish. I used this method for my favorite Keto Tuna Zoodle Casserole. It is packed with zucchini and tuna in a creamy cheese sauce. It has all the flavor of a classic tuna noodle casserole without the carbs.
Another casserole I love is this Keto Taco Zoodle Casserole. A pre-keto favorite in our house was Taco Mac. This dish features taco meat, tomatoes, zucchini noodles and a creamy cheese sauce. Some other favorites include:
- Crispy Zucchini Fries: an excellent sub for fries, I love to dip mine in low carb ranch.
- Greek Salmon Skewers: ultra low carb and incredibly satisfying
- Keto Cheesy Bread: less than 2 net carbs per slice, don’t forget to dip in low carb marinara.
