If you are eating a low carb diet then you are probably consuming a lot more vegetables now then you have in the past. The problem I first encounter was, which ones are low carb, and how can I make them delicious? I decided to make a nice list of some low carb veggie options along with some quick suggestions on how to use them in a low carb way. With a little more research you can find a bunch of recipes out their and I will post some more in-depth ideas later on. But here's a great place to get started.


  • Celery - I love eating these with a buffalo chicken dip, but you can also just add jalapeno/chipotle cream cheese to them for a quick snack. 
  • Mushrooms - Blah! don't these grow on logs in musty swamps...I'll pass.
  • Cabbage (or sauerkraut) - I like to use sauerkraut with some hotdogs or sausages to help fill me up. if its too tart for you, try cooking it with bacon and apple bits.
  • Avocado - Guacamole is a great dip for other veggies or low carb tortillas. You can also just slice up an avocado, add a little salt and pepper and enjoy.
  • Asparagus - Wrap in bacon, or season with spices. Great on the grill.
  • Cucumbers (or pickles without added sugars) - make some pickles. good with hummas too. These are good in salads. My wife will even have cucumber sandwiches. I think that's weird though.
  • Green Beans and Wax Beans- Wrap bunches of them in bacon, and a pinch of Splenda brown sugar to impress your friends.
  • Cauliflower - I am not a huge fan, but this works great to stick in a food processor and use as a rice substitute. some people even use it as a fake pizza crust.
  • Broccoli - I love this with ranch or hummus as a snack, but for a side dish you can always add a little cheese on top. If you really want to get fancy broccoli goes well with curry dishes so make a curry side dish.
  • Green Bell Peppers - Stuff them with some beef and make stuffed peppers. great on low carb pizza.
  • Red Bell Peppers - Slice in half, add an egg and cook for a yummy breakfast. good with hummus for a snack.
  • Jalapeno Peppers - if they are fresh, put them on burgers, pizza, or even in a salad.
  • Summer Squash - Bake in the oven, add some butter and brown sugar. Die happy.
  • Zuchinni - We love to bake this with some garlic and cheese. its a fun dish that goes with any meal.
  • Brussels Sprouts - Add some EVO with some Salt and Pepper. Bake it up. Its the best way to go.
  • Tomatoes - BLT's Yo! Make some salsa too.
  • Eggplant - I love using this as a noodle substitute, Make a Egg plant lasagna and impress your pals. Great flavor and no guilt
  • Pumpkin - We make pumpkin soup and Pumpkin quesadilla. Crazy I know.
  • Spaghetti Squash - this is great when baked to use with a marinara sauce. great as a noodle replacement.
  • Carrots - Best to bake. great in a crock pot with chicken and onions for a quick meal.
  • Onions - Saute these and use on a burger. Good in salads. Best server with something to add flavor. I guess you could eat them by themselves, but aint nobody gonna want to kiss you.
