Keto Sheet Pan Chicken and Loaded Cauliflower
In a sheet pan meal, everything cooks together on one baking sheet, making prep and cleanup a breeze. We chose chicken thighs because they're flavorful and juicy. The cauliflower, a keto-friendly vegetable, gets loaded with cheese, sour cream and bacon — a nod to a classic baked potato.

Keto Meatloaf
We gave classic meatloaf a keto-friendly upgrade. We caramelized the roasted red peppers to add a layer of sweetness — without ketchup — that balances the deep flavors of tomato paste and Parmesan. The almond flour and egg help the meatloaf hold together and slice beautifully without drying it out, and the bacon renders over top to add further flavor.

Keto Chocolate Ice Cream
This keto-friendly chocolate ice cream delivers! The egg yolk-based custard is the key to its full-bodied creaminess, while good-quality cocoa powder insures a rich chocolate flavor.

Take care not to over-churn, to avoid graininess.
