How to make keto fast food recipes at home

Prepping and cooking keto-friendly fast food recipes is easier than you think! The main thing that you’re going to have to do to make fast food keto is to do an ingredient swap.

The flavor is usually about the same, but opting to make the low carb fast food recipe versions are likely to be more nutrient-dense than the ones you find at the local fast food restaurants.

Keto fast food recipe ingredient alternatives:

• Cauliflower – a really versatile and nutrient-rich vegetable that you can turn into nearly anything. Tortilla wraps, low carb alternative to rice, pizza dough, and even cook it into bread.
• Eggplant – can be sliced thinly to make lasagna noodles or if you have a relatively big aubergine, you can slice them up and top them with your favorite pizza toppings to make a small veggie pizza.
• Mushrooms – these are rich in antioxidants, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Mushrooms can be pulsed in a food processor and seasoned to make veggie patties. Some have even used portobello as burger buns.
• Lettuce and cabbage leaves – these are a healthier alternative to tortillas and other wraps.
• Zucchini – these can be spiraled into noodles or grated and mixed with keto flour to make a delicious low carb pizza dough.

Then you have the usual pantry items for baking like cheeses, almond flour, sunflower seed flour, coconut flour, sugar-free sweeteners (e.g. monk fruit sweetener, stevia, erythritol, etc.)
