(2) Super-Simple Italian-Style Grilled Zucchini
Zucchini is, without a doubt, one of the best vegetables to have on a low-carb diet. Its super versatile, has a great texture, and - with the right treatment - can be super tasty!

5. Serve and enjoy.
(3) Asian-Inspired Beef Stir Fry
Asian-inspired recipes tend to contain a lot of protein, plenty of fresh vegetables, and (as long as rice is omitted) few carbs; not to mention Asian food is delicious!
Stir-fry is an extremely common form of Asian cuisine and a particular favorite amongst Westerners. Stir-fry is extremely versatile, filling, and flavorful.
While most stir-fry recipes call for the use of rice or lo mien noodles, this recipe will include neither for the sake of staying low-carb. Its quite filling on its own; however, you can serve it on top of fresh zoodles tossed with soy sauce if you wish.
Serving Sizes:
Preparation Time:
Nutritional Information (Per serving): 200 calories, 10g fat, 9g carbs, 16g protein, 40mg cholesterol, 710mg sodium
Ingredient List:
- 3 Tbsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. rice wine
- 1 Tbsp. light brown sugar
- tsp. cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
- 1 Tbsp. ginger, minced
- 1 Tbsp. garlic, crushed and minced
- 1-pound thin steak, cut into strips
- 1 cup fresh snow peas (with ends and strings removed)
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
How to Cook:
1. Add the soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, and cornstarch to a small mixing bowl. Using a fork or a whisk, mix until no lumps remain. Set sauce aside.
2. Add the oil to a large wok over medium heat. Add in the garlic and the ginger and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
3. Add in the steak and saut for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until the meat is evenly cooked.
4. Add the snow peas and saut for 3 minutes.
5. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the steak mixture. Stir to combine.
6. Simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
7. Serve and enjoy!
(4) Shrimp and Zucchini Linguine
Before going carb-free, one of my absolute favorite dishes in the world was shrimp (or chicken, or sausage) cooked in a sauce and served over hot linguine pasta! Once I switched to a low-carb diet, I truly missed linguine dishes - until, that is, I discovered zoodles!
If you havent heard of zoodles, they are, simply put, thin strips of zucchini that are an absolutely fantastic alternative to carb-heavy pasta. They make fresh and delicious entrees without the added sugars - or guilt, for that matter!
Zucchini noodles are extremely flexible - just use them as you would any type of pasta!
This particular recipe is a classic - tender shrimp, fresh noodles, and a delicious sauce! Serve it with a side salad, if desired.
Note: Zoodles are traditionally made with a spiralizer, which easily allows the zucchini to be cut into strips. If you dont have a spiralizer, you can simply cut the zucchini into thin noodle-like strips yourself; just be sure to keep the thickness more or less the same on each noodle to ensure even cooking.
