For me, one of the perks of the keto diet is that can you eat bacon! I’ve actually heard the keto diet referred to as the bacon diet. If you love bacon as much as I do, these low carb bacon recipes are worth checking out. I’ve rounded up 11 of the best keto bacon recipes out there.
Just call me Homer Simpson because mmm….bacon!
If you’re new to the keto diet, check out my beginner’s guide! It explains what it is, how it works and includes food lists to get you going.
The Best Keto Bacon Recipes
Crispy Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies. Thisrecipe from Wholesome Yum takes asparagus to a whole new level! My favorite part of it is that the bacon actually comes out crispy.
Usually, bacon wrapped food means the bacon is wimpy and limp. I like my bacon crisp so this recipe hits the mark. And asparagus is a great low carb vegetable too because the fiber brings the net carb count down.
Even if you normally don’t like asparagus, you should try this. I’m willing to bet it will change your mind!
Jalapeno Cheese Crisps
If you’re just starting out on the keto diet you may be wondering what kind of snack options you have. Well, look no further!These jalapeno cheese crisps from Delish couldn’t be easier to make. Only 3 main ingredients are needed – cheese, jalapeños, and of course, bacon!
Pile on the goodies and bake until crispy. This would be perfect for a keto-friendly appetizer or maybe a movie night snack.
Low Carb Bacon and Cheese Scones
You may think that goodies like scones are a no-go for the keto diet. But you’re wrong! These savory scones from Primavera Kitchen are made with a combination of almond and coconut flour, which make them low carb and totally doable if you’re on keto.
Bacon, mozzarella, and a combination of herbs give these scones a kick of flavor. Try them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They would perfect paired with a salad or healthy soup.
Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Meatballs
If you love meatballs, you’re really going to love this bacon-wrapped meatball recipe from Step Away From the Carbs.
