Tips and Tricks for the Best Keto Jalapeno Poppers

Most importantly, be careful when slicing and seeding jalapenos! It’s best to use gloves when working with jalapeno seeds and be careful not to touch your eyes or nose.
Do not overfill the filling, remember that it will expand and the peppers will shrink.
Use thin slices of bacon if available. Unless you gently stretch the thick-cut bacon before you cut your pepper and wrap it around.
If you wrap the bacon seam-side down, you may not need a toothpick, but feel free to use them if you feel you need it to keep the bacon secure.

Ingredients

  • 6 large fresh jalapeno peppers, halved and seeds removed
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 6 slices of bacon (see notes below)

Instructions

  1. Slice the peppers carefully. Remove and discard the seeds and membranes from the pepper. Be careful not to touch your eyes when working with peppers.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, scallions, worcestershire, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Stuff a spoonful of each pepper slice.
  4. Wrap half a slice of bacon around each popper and secure with toothpicks.

Oven Method: Place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until bacon is crispy.

Air Fryer Method: Place in an air fryer basket and cook at 390 degrees F for 8-10 minutes until bacon is crispy. Depending on the size of the fryer, you may need to do this in batches.

Grill: Heat a grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F). Place the poppers on the grill and reduce the heat to medium (between 350-375 degrees F) and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the bacon is crispy.

What if I told you that you could make this amazing chicken, bacon, ranch, and sun-dried tomato salad then serve it either hot on top of zoodles or cold on top of a bed of lettuce? Fortunately, unlike certain 90’s movies you don’t actually have to choose.

Sprinkling tomatoes on the salad.

You can have this recipe both ways! However, for simplicity’s sake we’ll show you how to make this into a salad today. This recipe clocks in at just 3 net carbs per serving. We used our own ranch dressing for this recipe, but you can use whatever dressing you like. Just be sure to adjust the nutritional information when tracking.

Broccoli Cheddar Balls? Broccoli Cheddar Bites? Fried Cheese Balls? Deep Fried Broccoli Cheddar Bites? So many possibilities, none of which succinctly describe the deliciousness you are about to enjoy.

Dang it! What is a food writer to do when words fail?

Never mind, I am too busy stuffing my face with these crispy keto broccoli cheddar balls. Or broccoli cheddar bites. Or fried cheese bites. Or whatever they are.

Ingredients

Broccoli Cheese Balls

  • 1 ½ cups frozen broccoli thawed and drained (about 6 ounces)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 6 ounces cheddar grated
  • 3 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

  • 2 tablespoon coconut flour

  • 1 tablespoon cream
  • 1 ½ cups pork rind crumbs

Free Keto Meal Plan : KETO DIET PLAN FOR BEGINNERS STEP BY STEP GUIDE

Frying Oil

  • 3 to 4 cups oil for frying

Instructions

  • Chop the broccoli finely and place in a large bowl. Add the cream cheese, cheddar, garlic, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork until well combined.
  • Roll the mixture into balls no bigger than 1 inch, and place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet or tray. You should get about 30 balls. Freeze 3 to 4 hours.
  • Spread the coconut flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs and cream together in a medium bowl. Spread the pork rinds in another medium bowl.
  • Once frozen, add the oil to a deep heavy duty 4 quart saucepan and bring up to 350F. Do your best to keep the temperature between 330F and 350F. (Any hotter means that the outside of the bites cooks too quickly while the filling doesn’t thaw).
  • Roll each ball in the coconut flour for a light coatiing, then dip in the egg and dredge in the prok rind crumbs.
  • Add 4 to 6 balls to the hot oil and cook about 3 minutes, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining balls.
  • Serve room temperature (don’t serve hot of they will burn your mouth with melty cheese!).

Crack Keto Biscuits – delicious! Even if you aren’t doing the Keto diet, you will love these biscuits! Loaded with cheddar, bacon, and, ranch. Cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, eggs, baking powder, almond flour, cheddar, bacon, and ranch. SO good! Can make individual biscuits or one large loaf. I like to brush the baked biscuits with melted butter and dried parsley.

It’s easy to make cracked ketogenic cakes. Melt the first cream cheese and mozzarella. I put it in the microwave for about a minute. Next, add some baking powder, eggs, almond flour, mixed farm sauce, cheddar cheese and bacon. The dough is made into balls and left for 10 minutes before baking. Very easy!

He used a 10-inch pan and 1 large cake spoon and got 11 cakes. If you don’t want one cake at a time, I think you can put the mixture in the pan or make bread. I like cleaning biscuits cooked with melted butter and dried parsley.

The key to making this keto biscuit is to use premium almond flour. Almond flour is commonly found in stores. I bought it myself from Publix and Walmart. I use the refined King Arthur brand. I also like red flour for almonds.

YIELDS: 1 PREP TIME: 0 HOURS 5 MINS TOTAL TIME: 0 HOURS 40 MINS

INGREDIENTS

12 slices thick-cut bacon

1/2 c. pizza sauce 

1 c. shredded mozzarella

1 c. sliced green bell pepper

1/4 medium red onion, sliced

1/4 c. sliced black olives

1/4 c. grated Parmesan

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper. To form a bacon weave, line six bacon slices side-by-side on the baking sheet. Lift up and fold back every other bacon slice, then lay a seventh slice on top in the center.
  2. Lay folded-back slices on top of seventh slice, then fold back the alternate slices. Place eighth slice on top, next to the seventh slice, weaving like you did before. Repeat this process four more times to complete the weave.
  3. Place an inverted, oven-proof cooling rack on top of the bacon slices. This helps them stay flat.
  4. Bake 23 to 25 minutes, or until bacon starts to crisp.
  5. Remove baking sheet from oven and pour off as much fat as you can. Carefully remove rack, then spread with pizza sauce leaving ½-inch or so for crust. Top with mozzarella, pepper, onions, olives, and Parmesan.
  6. Return sheet to oven and continue baking until cheese is melty, another 10 minutes.
