These easy and delicious Keto Easter Recipes are going to lighten up your mood, satisfy your stomach, AND make this holiday even more special. We’ve broken it down into three categories: Main Course, Side Dishes, and Dessert, to make your low carb holiday menu planning hassle- and stress-free!
What do people eat for Easter?
If you’re new to this holiday and caught yourself wondering, “what kind of food do you eat on Easter?” then we’ve got you covered!
No matter where you’re from, traditional Easter foods often revolve around eggs, sweet pastries (e.g. carrot cakes, hot cross buns, braided sweet bread), and roasts.
Now, as much as we want to stick to the traditional recipes, not everything they serve for Easter dinner (or all the meals in between) is keto-friendly. But you don’t have to worry! The dishes we’ve compiled in this recipe roundup are packed with great flavor with very minimal carbs – enough to celebrate the holiday without getting kicked out of ketosis.
