The ketogenic diet, also known simply as keto, is all about eating tons of fat—and as few carbs as possible—in an effort to trick the body into burning fats instead of carbohydrates. Whether you’re on a strictly keto meal plan or just want to dabble, these 31 recipes will help you go keto without sacrificing flavor.

Note: some recipes include ingredients that do not align with the keto diet (such as lemon juice). In those instances, swap out that ingredient or remove at your discretion.
