New Year's Eve Keto Beef Tenderloin Roast Dinner

⭐ 4.9/5 (2114) 🔥 800 cal

This succulent beef roast skillet is perfect for a memorable holiday dinner. Tender beef tenderloin is simply seasoned with mustard, freshly cracked black pepper, and salt. The secret lies in melting butter pieces that seep into the meat fibers during roasting. The tenderloin roasts atop a bed of mushrooms and Brussels sprouts, absorbing their flavorful juices. This guaranteed to impress, especially as a Keto New Year's Eve dinner. Mushrooms provide a unique umami flavor that complements the beef, but the Brussels sprouts are optional and can be replaced with asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower florets. This whole dinner can be prepped and cooked in under an hour, though roasting time varies with the tenderloin's size. A small tenderloin takes 20-30 minutes, while a larger one may take up to 40 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness. Increase cooking time by 5-10 minutes for well-done. If this is the star dish, expect 4 satiating servings. If other main courses are present, the skillet can serve 8 small portions.

Keto Tangy Chicken Quesadilla w Air Fryer Portobello Fries

⭐ 4.9/5 (1420) 🔥 750 cal

Make this mock version of a drive-thru-style chicken quesadilla from your favorite fast-food Mexican restaurant! A full serving of chicken is mixed with a special tangy secret sauce. The chicken filling is cooked inside a ")tortilla" made of colby jack cheese. The cheese tortilla allows you to omit a traditional tortilla to save tons of carbs and make your meal Keto. While the popular fast-food taco place doesn)t have any Keto side dish options, you)ll be pairing your quesadilla with portobello "fries". Strips of meaty portobello mushroom are coated in a crispy Keto breading and fried in your air fryer. For meal prepping, you can keep the completed quesadilla and portobello fries together in meal prep containers in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer-lasting leftovers, keep the portobello fries in their own container, where they can last up to 7 days in the refrigerator. Prepare the chicken filling in advance to store for up to 3 days, and scoop it into your cheese tortilla whenever you)re ready for a hot quesadilla. The original drive-thru chicken quesadilla comes with a tangy sauce inside. Most popular chain restaurants won)t give away their secret recipes for their unique sauces, but leave it to Carb Manager to figure it out for you! Tangy quesadilla sauce is typically made with a base of mayonnaise mixed with garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and the pickling liquid from a jar of jalapenos. The jalapeno liquid is left out of this recipe and replaced with a little sour cream to add that vinegar tang. No quesadilla is complete without some extra toppings! Thankfully, many Mexican or Spanish ingredients are already Keto-friendly. You can serve your quesadilla and portobello fries with extra sour cream for dipping. Carb Manager has multiple Keto guacamole recipes you can include, or you can even add slices of fresh avocado to the quesadilla. Top the quesadilla with shredded lettuce and chopped tomato for a refreshing complement. Don)t forget to include a fiery hot sauce if you can take the heat! Jessica L.

Keto Thanksgiving Sweet Baby Onions

⭐ 4.9/5 (2725) 🔥 140 cal

These low carb caramelized baby onions make a delicious side for the Keto Thanksgiving table. Our baby onions are peeled and kept whole, then pan-fried in butter, balsamic vinegar, thyme, and maple-flavored syrup. The onions are simple to prepare and are cooked low and slow until golden and caramelized. These make a great sweet and savory side option to accompany your Thanksgiving Keto main. We have pan-fried our Keto mushrooms in a generous helping of butter to provide fats, flavor, and add to the caramelization. If you are following a dairy-free or vegan diet, we recommend swapping for 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. This would be a richer and creamier butter replacement than using olive oil or another vegetable-based oil. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes you make to the recipe. Onions are at the slightly higher end of the low carb vegetable scale but can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a Keto diet. We have used baby onions - also known as pearl onions - to create bite-sized mouthfuls of caramelized deliciousness! We have used 15 baby onions for this recipe and calculated the macros per onion. This means you can choose how many individual onions make up a serving according to your personal macro allowance.
