✨ Keto-Friendly Recipes
💜 Homemade Purple Sweet Potato Hummus (Low-Carb Version!)
Traditional hummus is made with chickpeas, but for a lower-carb alternative, I use a blend of purple sweet potato and tahini.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup roasted purple sweet potato (small portion keeps it keto-friendly!)
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Water as needed for consistency
Instructions:
- Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
- Adjust seasoning and add water for a thinner consistency if needed.
- Serve as a creamy topping for salads or as a dip for keto-friendly veggies!
🔥 Sweet & Spicy Keto Tahini Glaze
This glaze takes the roasted chicken to the next level with zero refined sugar and a perfect balance of heat and sweetness.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (gut-friendly & low-carb)
- 1 tsp coconut aminos (better than soy sauce for keto!)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- ½ tsp monk fruit sweetener or erythritol
- 1 tbsp water (to thin it out)
Instructions:
- Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Drizzle over warm roasted chicken or use as a dressing for your salad.
