Some of these low carb Christmas recipes are non-traditional – especially for holiday dinners. In fact, I’d say most of them are – but the truth of the matter is, you can cook anything you want for Christmas dinner! I grew up having breakfast for Christmas dinner, so it was new to me that as an adult my extended family started roasting meats and such. I like to branch out so I made this list of keto holiday recipes and am going to save it for this holiday season! 🙂
Best Keto Christmas Recipes
Keto makes life easy year round, but when the holidays roll in, so do all of the sweets, breads, and other not so Keto friendly items trying to sneak their way into every meal. Dinner is easiest for me to make low carb without a lot of extra work, because having meat as the main part of the meal is expected. If your family is anti-keto or is carb-obsessed, these meals will satisfy them without breaking your carb bank.
1. Easy Breakfast Casserole from Low Carb Nomad
Breakfast for dinner is a tradition for many families at Christmastime. You can make this breakfast casserole ahead of time and pop it in the oven to reheat when it’s time to eat, or you can whip it up at the last minute using ingredients on hand – yes, it’s easy enough for the kids to help.
2. Instant Pot Pot Roast from Low Carb Nomad
You can use an Instant Pot, slow cooker, oven, or even a Ninja Foodi to make this delicious pot roast. It’s naturally low carb, just watch the amount of potatoes you throw in, or use a low carb potato alternative instead. Meals that require little work are always a Grand Slam for our family, especially with the hustle and bustle of the holidays.
