10 Amazing Low Carb Recipes
There are many low carb recipes on the web these days as well as many recipes in low carb recipe books that you find in the bookstore. After looking through countless recipes both online and in cookbooks, here are the top 10 highly suggested recipes. Low carb recipes offer a wide variety of choices, from meats to eggs to salads.
Then there are low carb dessert recipes, which deserve a whole separate introduction! You can learn how to make a simple chocolate mousse from melted dark chocolate and coconut milk. Then there are more complicated recipes that require a variety of spices and baking in the oven. Some of those can be amazingly delicious so much so that you completely forget that it’s low carb food! For this reason, the list below includes both savory foods and desserts.
Low carb recipes are basically like recipes for any other dish, and so there’s plenty of variety. The only glaring difference lies in the lack of certain ingredients such as potatoes and flour. Flour and potatoes, however, are often used in pastas, baked goods, and sauces. The fact that you can’t eat flour or potatoes on a low carb diet didn’t deter people from creating recipes that mimic the full carb ones such as spaghetti meatballs, muffins, and various soups. They usually do not taste exactly like the real dishes, but they are delicious nonetheless. I like to call these types of recipes, faux dishes.
The presence of substitutes in the market these days has made faux dishes easier to make. An example of such substitute is the artificial sweetener. Used to thicken soups, the xantham gum is also known as a corn starch substitute. Then there’s also konjac flour, which is derived from a yam type plant and consists completely of fibre so that it has no carbs. A lot of pastas have been made using this type of highly fibrous flour. Although artificial sweeteners do not taste like sugar, they are still able to make food sweet. There are some foods that can cover up the taste of artificial sweeteners better than others. A classic example is how artificial sweeteners do not work with chocolates but taste perfect with cinnamon. Similarly, low carb pastas made from konjac flour do not taste exactly like normal noodles. They are often a bit tougher to chew and require different cooking processes.
So, without much more ado, here’s my top 10 list:
- low carb flax muffins
- low carb lasagna
- egg drop soup
- beef pot roast
- cauliflower soup
- low carb pizza
- low carb cheesecake
- eggdrop soup
- faux fried rice
- low carb spaghetti and meatballs
Be careful in following low carb recipes because too little or too much of any ingredient could make or break the recipe. I’ve definitely made some inedible dishes before when I’ve decided to experiment with the ingredients.
