    40 Amazing Keto Snacks

    Last updated: Jul 11, 2022 · Recipes developed by Vered DeLeeuw and nutritionally reviewed by Rachel Benight MS, RD · This website generates income via ads and uses cookies.

    A wonderful collection of 40 amazing keto snacks. Easy to make and so very tasty, they help ensure success on the keto diet.

    The collection contains both savory and sweet snacks, and they can all be made at home with basic, simple ingredients.

    A photo collage of sweet and savory keto snacks.

    Deprivation and cravings are the enemies of any way of eating. For those of us used to snacking, learning how to make tasty low-carb snacks can be the difference between success and failure.

    Making sure you always have delicious keto items to reach for is the best insurance against reaching for the foods you're trying to get away from - starchy, sugary, and processed.

    Frequently asked questions

    What are keto snacks made of?

    If they don't contain wheat flour or sugar, then what do they contain? Scroll down and you'll see - the savory items are usually made of any one of the following ingredients or a combination of them:
    Vegetables
    Eggs
    Cheese
    Meat
    Almond flour
    Fats
    Salt and spices

    The sweet items are generally made with:
    Almond flour
    Coconut flour
    Dark chocolate
    Fruit
    Nuts
    Fats
    Sugar-free sweeteners

    Which are better, savory or sweet snacks?

    I divided this collection into two parts - savory and sweet. As you can see, the savory part is twice as large as the sweet section. That's no coincidence.

    While sweet snacks are okay once in a while, they do walk a fine line between "snack" and "dessert." So I usually prefer savory snacks over sweet ones.

    Can you suggest store-bought snacks?

    If you're pressed for time or just don't feel like cooking/baking, there are several good options for you when it comes to pre-made low-carb snacks that you can buy.

    My favorite store-bought items include:
    Nuts and seeds
    Plain pork rinds
    Packaged cheese crisps (100% cheese)
    Fresh-cut veggies dipped in Ranch dressing
    90% chocolate
    Whole milk Greek yogurt with berries and nuts
    Cheeses and deli meats

    Savory Keto Snacks

    These are the ones I make most often. They are delicious, each and every one of them, and I do find that they are more satiating than sweet ones.

    1. Parmesan crisps

    I make these a lot. They are so wonderfully crispy and flavorful. They are made with just cheese (sometimes I add pepperoni or a jalapeno slice in the middle), and without wheat flour diluting their flavor, they truly are better than high-carb cheese crackers.

    Homemade Baked Parmesan Crisps
    Crispy and wonderfully flavorful, these baked parmesan crisps are the ultimate keto snack. And they are VERY easy to make!

    2. Keto beef jerky

    This one requires a bit more work - slicing the beef thinly and then baking it in a low-temperature oven for a few hours. But they are so good! Their seasoning is phenomenal. They make a wonderful addition to your lunchbox.

    Sugar-Free Keto Beef Jerky
    A simple recipe for a sugar-free keto beef jerky that you can make in your oven. There's no need to marinate the beef! The spice mix and slow cooking are responsible for the jerky's great texture and amazing flavor.

    3. Avocado fries

    The first time I made these, I was amazed at how well they turned out. Baked avocado becomes wonderfully creamy and flavorful, and the spicy dip adds so much flavor. It's one of my favorite recipes to make when I have avocadoes that are just right - not too hard and not too ripe.

    Baked Avocado Fries
    Marvelously flavorful avocado fries are coated with almond meal, then baked in the oven until hot and creamy.

    4. Homemade pork rinds

    You can absolutely buy pork rinds (as long as they contain just pork skin and salt). But making your own is actually fun, and the result is very different than the commercial stuff - it's crispier and fattier and not as puffy and dry. I also find it much more flavorful.

    Homemade Pork Rinds (Chicharrones)
    Homemade pork rinds are easy to bake in the oven. Chicharrones are salty, crunchy, and savory. They are the perfect keto solution for a snack attack!
