What are Some Easy Keto-Friendly Super Bowl Snacks You Can Make for Game Day?
Hosting a keto Super Bowl party is easier than one might think. Some food groups are automatically part of a keto diet. When contemplating what to serve, we have some basic things to consider.
-
Meat: Most meats are keto and can be used in your Super Bowl recipes. Remember that the more processed meat, such as sausage and meat sticks, is likely to be higher in carbohydrates. Avoid meat that has breading unless you have made your own with keto ingredients like almond flour or crushed pork rinds.
-
Egg: Another keto ingredient to include in your smorgasbord is eggs. Pickled or deviled eggs are low-carb snacks you can add to the table.
-
Cheese: Who doesn’t love cheese? While some cheeses are lower in carbohydrates than others, cheese is an excellent option. You can add it to dips, veggies, or other food items to make them cheesy and delicious.
-
Veggies: There are many keto veggies that can be enjoyed. Options include spinach, bell peppers, radishes, celery, zucchini, kale, green beans, tomato, lettuce, artichoke, avocado, jalapeño, cucumber, and others.
-
Sugar-Free Desserts: Besides keto snacks, many delicious low-carb dessert recipes exist.
4 Main Dish Game Day Food
When creating your party food menu, keep in mind the food categories listed above. Of course, your party needs some main dish.
1. Meatballs
Meatballs are always a crowd-pleaser appetizer. Mixing your ground beef with almond flour or low-carb breadcrumbs is an excellent way to cut carbs. Try our easy keto Swedish meatball recipe. If you prefer BBQ meatballs, mix 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 diced onion, 1 beaten egg and 1/2 cup almond flour.
Combine well and make your meatballs. Brown the meatballs in some oil then bake until completely cooked. Add your favorite sugar-free barbecue sauce and enjoy. (4 of our meatballs are 400 calories and 4 net carbs)
2. Tacos
There are delicious low-carb tortillas out there! You can make great low-carb tacos using these shells and adding a bit of lettuce, tomato, cheese and hot sauce.
3. Chicken Wings
Bake, air fry or deep fry plain (not breaded) chicken wings for your party. Dry rubs tend to be lower in carbs than sauces, but you can find excellent low-carb sauces.
For a zesty, low-carb snack, try buffalo wings. Make sure to pair these keto appetizers with a low-carb dipping sauce like ranch or blue cheese.
4. Pizza
Don’t assume that you can’t enjoy pizza when eating keto. One of our favorite Keto Recipes shows you how to make a low carb pizza crust. (One piece of our pizza is roughly 200 calories and 3 net carbs.)
3 Things to Dip
While eating keto means you must pass on the chips, you can still enjoy dips. Make your favorite dips and use crunchy veggies as a vessel to enjoy the dip.
-
Veggies: Celery, peppers, chunks of zucchini, tomatoes and radishes are all great foods to enjoy with your favorite dips.
-
Low-Carb Crackers: There are some low-carblow carb tortillas. Just be careful because the carbs add up quickly.
-
Bacon or Jerky: Try dipping crispy bacon or beef jerky into your favorite dips.
