How to Make Fried Cabbage with Bacon

This is one of my favorite low-carb side dishes! It’s so easy to make, and it’s packed with flavor. Here’s an overview of how this simple keto side dish recipe is made: Heat a large skillet to medium heat, add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp. When crisp, remove the bacon from the skillet with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Drain off all of the bacon grease except 1 tablespoon and set aside for later. Add the chopped onion to the bacon grease and sauté until caramelized. Add 1 tablespoon of bacon grease back to the skillet, then add the cabbage salt, pepper and paprika. Cook the cabbage until it has reduced and is tender enough for your liking. Add the chopped bacon and serve immediately.

More Easy Keto Sides:

When adapting to a low carb diet it can be difficult to give up those old favorites! I’ve tried my best to come up with some keto friendly sides that mimic classic side dishes. These Crispy Keto Zucchini Fries are one of my favorites! Zucchini is cut into fry shapes and then breaded in an almond flour parmesan breading that has a hint of ranch to it. It goes great with everything! Another keto side dish that we love are these Keto Zucchini Breadsticks. If you love cheesy bread this recipe is for you! Served with low carb marinara it satisfies those pizza cravings! It also works great as a low carb appetizer.
