Make-Ahead Keto Party Food
What to make the day before?
Deviled eggs (fill the morning of, but boil and peel ahead), cheese ball, guacamole with the pit in and plastic pressed to the surface, meatballs, sausage balls, and any cold dip. Crackers and cheese crisps keep for days in an airtight container.
What goes in the crockpot?
Buffalo chicken dip, queso, chorizo dip, Philly cheesesteak dip and meatballs all hold on Warm for hours. If you’re feeding a crowd, this is the difference between hosting and hiding in the kitchen.
What has to be last-minute?
Wings, mozzarella sticks, anything fried or crisped. Plan for one of these, not four.
Feeding non-keto people too?
Nothing in this list announces itself as diet food. Put out tortilla chips alongside the low carb ones, and nobody will notice or care.
Keto Appetizer FAQs
Are chicken wings keto?
Plain, grilled or fried wings are essentially zero carb. What gets you is the sauce – barbecue and honey mustard are usually loaded with sugar. Buffalo, garlic parmesan, lemon pepper and dry rubs are the safe bets.
How many carbs are in guacamole?
Avocado is one of the most keto-friendly foods there is – high fat, high fiber, very low net carbs. Guacamole is a yes. The chips are the problem, which is why there are two low carb chip options in this post.
What can I bring to a party if I’m the only one doing keto?
Bring a dip and something to dip in it. Nobody questions a person carrying a crockpot of buffalo chicken dip, and you’ve guaranteed yourself something to eat all night.
Can I eat pork rinds on keto?
Yes – zero carb, and they work as chips, breading, or nacho base. If the texture isn’t for you, cheese crisps do the same job.
How do I not blow it at a Super Bowl party?
Eat before you go, stand away from the table, and pick two things. The plan matters more than the willpower.
Ok, so did I leave anything out? I’d love to know your go-to game day recipe! Football, food and family – I hope you enjoy all three this fall.
