If you're following a ketogenic diet, dinner is where you can really have the most fun. Even though fat is the leading macronutrient in the diet, your plate will still feature a protein source and vegetable — what they are and how they are prepared makes them keto-friendly. Whether you want something creative or something simple, here are seven great ideas for a delicious keto dinner.

1. Meat and Vegetable Stir-Fry

The combinations are endless here. Gather whatever vegetables you have in your crisper drawer and some chicken, beef, or pork, and combine them in a skillet or wok to create a flavorful, colorful stir-fry. Serve this over cauliflower rice to make it even heartier.

7. Meat-Stuffed Vegetables

Or instead of stuffing your meat with vegetables, stuff your vegetables with meat. Classic stuffed peppers can be prepared without the rice and simply stuffed with seasoned ground beef. Or, try stuffing zucchini with sausage.
