Our favorite low carb vegetarian dinner recipes to keep you keto and free from cravings (because keto doesn’t have to mean “eat all the meats”)!

What can a vegetarian eat on a low carb diet? It’s the age old question (or at least, the question of the year).
Many vegetarian protein sources, such as legumes and grains, tend to be higher in carbohydrates. This can make it difficult to achieve a low-carb intake while meeting the protein requirements of a vegetarian diet.
Additionally, some common low-carb foods, like meat and seafood, are excluded from a vegetarian diet, further narrowing the range of available choices.
Finding the right balance between vegetarian sources of protein and low-carb ingredients requires careful meal planning, recipe modification, and creativity in combining different food groups. However, with proper knowledge, resources, and experimentation, it is possible to create satisfying and nutritious vegetarian meals that are also low in carbohydrates.
So without further ado, here are 21 low carb vegetarian dinner recipes you’re going to love! Each of these recipes contains less than 10 grams of carbs per serving.
