(Kind-of) Chicken Parm with Roasted Courgettes (Keto)

Found in: All recipes, Main meals, Poultry

This version of chicken parm is one of those low carb / keto midweek meals that may seem simple at-a-glance, but will still deliver great, familiar flavours. The most important thing is that the chicken is not overcooked. While skinless breasts lend themselves to be great options to flatten and use in dishes like this, they are notorious for drying out. Stick to my timings and you will be okay. The courgettes are a lovely side veg option: I find this method of roasting them results in soft, buttery batons. Just lovely!” – Monya

Keto Caprese Salad (Keto)

Found in: All recipes, Salads, Side dishes, Vegetables

“I want to remind you how a fresh and easy keto Caprese salad can be! Only three ingredients are needed and the dish is as pretty to look at as it is delicious! Tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil leaves do most of the work, but a good-quality olive oil and a scattering of sea salt flakes finish it beautifully. QUICK TIP: Never store tomatoes or fresh basil in the fridge. Both should be stored at room temperature.” – Monya

Bacon and Tomato Keto Gnocchi

Found in: All recipes, Fathead dough-inspired, Main meals, Pork

“Oh my… the flavours in this bacon and tomato keto gnocchi! I used smoked bacon lardons because they are chunkier (and fattier) than simply dicing up thin bacon rashers yourself. They also render so much glorious fat and flavour when frying up, and this is key to this dish. The tomatoes add lovely sweet acidity. If you can manage 9.9g carbs per serving, this will sufficiently feed 2 people. But it is very rich and filling, so you could divide this into 4 smaller servings and halve the macros accordingly. In this recipe, I use “gnocchi” made from almond flour, but if you prefer a nut-free version, I have a fabulous Cheesy Gnocchi in my second book Lazy Keto Kitchen (2021).” – Monya
