Quick Keto Dinner Ideas – The Best Easy Low Carb Ketogenic Diet Friendly Dinners – Meals for when you’re too busy to cook and need ideas for the quickest possible recipes to make in minutes.
Quick Keto Dinner Ideas
These quick keto dinner ideas come together really easily, helping you stay on track when you’re too busy to cook.
Most of these meals come together quicker than it would take you to order and wait for a take away to arrive, saving you time (and money) when you’re hungry and impatient for dinner. Plus the whole family will enjoy these easy keto dinner recipes.
Some of the best easy keto meals are made quickly to enjoy start away, others require a bit of pre-prep, which you can do over the weekend or when you have time earlier in the day to prep for dinner tonight.
I often find that after having dinner, taking a bit of time to chop and prep as much as I can for the following night’s quick keto dinner recipes, means that most of the dinner meal can actually be made and ready to be heated or eaten straight away the following night.
Steak
You can make a main dish of a steak dinner, with mushroom sauce as the keto side dish or pre cook the easy recipe and have it ready and waiting in the fridge to turn into a steak salad for dinner.
Zucchini Noodles
I like to call this meal 2 Minute Zoodles, because it comes together as quickly as carby noodles with a similar name, but is low in net carbs and high in healthy fats.
All you need is zucchini that you spiralize into noodles. (You’ll need a spiralizer for that, here’s a selection of spiralizers on Amazon.)
Then heat the quick-cooking veggie in a creamy garlic sauce. You can add in a tin of tuna or grated parmesan cheese for flavor and your quick keto dinner is on the table in mere minutes.
Low Carb Salad
Make ahead an easy keto salad that can marinate in the fridge and be enjoyed instantly for dinner. Or, keep keto salad ingredients to hand to quickly throw together at dinner time.
Here are some keto-friendly recipes for salads to choose from that are made with easy to find ingredients from a grocery store.
Casserole – Quick Keto Dinner Ideas
A cheesy casserole needs only minimal ingredients and takes only 25 minutes to bake in the oven until lovely and golden. Here are some easy keto casseroles full of lovely low carb vegetables to choose from:
Keto Spaghetti Bolognese
You can cook up a great keto ground beef bolognese really quickly and simply serve topped with plenty of grated parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese.
Or you can mix through cabbage or zucchini noodles and enjoy a keto spaghetti bolognese.
Keto Burgers
You can quickly form ground beef mince into burgers, cook them up in plenty of butter, coconut oil or olive oil in a frying pan and then serve in a lettuce bun and with fresh veggies and other keto burger toppings.
Cheesy Chicken Bake
This cheesy chicken bake can be quickly prepped and popped into the oven to cook for dinner to enjoy with cauliflower rice or your low carb dinner sides that are low in net carbs.
You can even make double of what you’ll need and freeze the extra to enjoy as a future night’s meal.
Keto Soup Ideas
Meal prep a large pot of soup full of keto vegetables over the weekend to reheat and enjoy by the bowl full at dinner through the week.
You can add a dollop of sour cream or stir through heavy cream or cream cheese to turn a low carb soup into a low carb high-fat diet and keto friendly whole meal for busy weeknights.
