This ketofied chicken recipe features pickle juice as the brine, and protein powder as the low-carb breading alternative. The result?

Keto Roasted Pumpkin & Halloumi Salad

August 20, 2019 by Leave a Comment

The somewhat sweet roasted pumpkin combined with salty cheese is an amazing experience. This salad is somewhat higher in carbs than we would normally post, so keep in mind that it’s better for those of you who are eating within a shorter time period each day. You can lessen the carbs by reducing the amount of pumpkin used and replace it with a lower-carb vegetable like cauliflower or zucchini. Every time we post a recipe with halloumi, we get a lot of questions about it. Look, halloumi is ...

I’ve fallen in love with mackerel! It’s an oily fish that’s consumed all over the world, but not something I got into until recently.

We marinate the fish in ginger, lemon, and coconut aminos before roasting it in the oven. The base of the bowl is broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, and peppers. Then everything is finished off with roasted almonds and ...
