Potlucks are a fantastic way to connect with your community while sharing delicious food. However, if you’re following a keto lifestyle, the high carb nature of many traditional potluck dishes can be a challenge. Here are some ideas that will keep you on track and taste great!
Zucchini Noodles with Pesto
Swap carb heavy pasta with spiralized zucchini ( or Hearts of Palm Noodles) for a light, fresh take on a classic dish. Toss the “zoodles” in a homemade pesto sauce made with fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. For an extra touch, sprinkle some cherry tomatoes and toasted almonds on top. This is a dish you can customize in multiple ways for whatever occasion you need it for.
Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are always a potluck favorite, so don’t skip out on bringing them along. They are naturally low carb and keto-friendly. For a healthier option, mix the yolks with avocado instead of mayo, Dijon mustard, and a dash of paprika. Add a creative twist by topping them with crispy prosciutto or diced jalepenos.
Stuffed Bell Peppers
Mini bell peppers make perfect bite-sized vessels for savory fillings. Combine cooked ground beef or turkey with your choice of cheese, diced onions, and seasonings, then bake until the peppers are tender. These are colorful, satisfying, and perfect for sharing. Don’t be surprised if you leave with a clean tray!
Keto Chocolate Avocado Mousse
A potluck is nothing without a dessert! Whip up a creamy chocolate mousse using ripe avocados, unsweetened cocoa powder, and your favorite keto-friendly sweetener. Garnish with a dollop of sugar free or Zero whipped cream and fresh berries for a pop of extra sweetness.
