Keto appetizer suggestions please

Jalapeño poppers are really good. I made those this past weekend. Mmm! Basically anything with bacon.

Stuffed mushrooms with sausage, cream cheese, heavy cream. prep night before toss in oven at 325 for 45 min while getting ready to go

I have many things I like for appetizers but my current favorite is salmon dill mini quiches (crustless or almond flour crust)

Bacon-wrapped artichoke hearts with Chipotle aioli, meatballs with a low carb bbq sauce or cream sauce, ham (or pastrami, salami or corned beef, etc) and cream cheese pickle roll-ups.

I use canned quartered artichoke hearts since whole hearts can be too big. I also use sugar free imitation honey in the aioli and I don’t use the whole can of Chipotle peppers but if you like it burn-your-mouth spicy go ahead. I use my immersion blender to blend the aioli together for a smoother texture. It’s usually a crowd pleaser.

I don’t know if they still have them, but for the super bowl I bought bacon-wrapped cream cheese filled jalapenos at Aldi’s. If you didn’t want to make them. They were in the meat section.

Slow cooked meatballs in this barbeque sauce were a big hit at my book club.

If you can’t have a hot appetizer (bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeno peppers), this one can be made ahead and served cold (but it’s also good baked).

Cheese and sausage trays are also great - you can add some crackers for the carbivores, but don’t take those left overs home.

Fantastic suggestions and thanks for also linking recipes! I brought the bacon wrapped cheese stuffed jalapeños last month which were a huge hit, so I wanted to bring something different this time. You gave me a plethora of options, amazing! It is for my very non-keto wine club and I always like to bring something I know I can eat, otherwise I go home drunk and hungry!

I want to be in a wine club! Well, other than my book club, that is!

#21

We don’t even pretend to be a book club, we just call it what it is! If you’re in the Cleveland area, you’re welcome to join!

I’m in the Detroit area so not that far but a little too far for wine. Thanks, though! :wine_glass: :grin:

Spinach and Artichoke dip is another favorite of mine. Bring some parmesan crisps, and it can be fully keto.

(Megan) #24

I have a bunch of salami and capers so I think I’m going to try this this weekend for March Madness. Without the crackers, of course.

@roxanne Can you tell me if the Chorizo in this recipe for Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers is the Mexican style or the Basque style?

Is it calling for the chorizo without a casing or one in a casing like a regular sausage?

Thank you!

(Roxanne) #26

I’m not familiar with those names/types - I used a hard dried version that was slightly spicy, with a very light casing that I did not remove. I hope that helps!

Nice, I will be adding this to my Xmas menu. Even the difficult people who insist on eating carbs will be happy.

(Candy Lind) #28

Or bake them in a 425F oven until bacon is crisp!

Bacon-wrapped asparagus - I never tasted anything as good as those asparagus tips slightly charred in bacon grease! :heart_eyes: ketoconnect has a recipe - I cooked it 25 degrees hotter than they suggested and it was amazing. Took a while to get the hang of the bacon wrapping! And a LOT of toothpicks. :crazy_face:

Or try prosciutto in place of the bacon. Truly divine!!!
