Do you want to plan a delicious Keto picnic without having to cater to different diets? We’ve rounded up some delicious low carb recipes, including keto-friendly picnic food that is perfect for cookouts and picnics.

These low carb and keto recipes show keto picnic food doesn’t need to be restrictive and you can venture beyond the standard rotisserie chicken or ribs.

Low Carb & Keto Picnic Food Ideas

These low carb picnic ideas will help you plan the perfect keto picnic without catering to different diets. These delicious keto picnic recipes give you everything from appetisers, low carb sandwich options, salads and sweets, so you can plan a low carb picnic or keto everyone can enjoy.

1

Keto Focaccia with Rosemary & Olives

Enjoy the best of both worlds with this low carb focaccia bread recipe. Topped with fragrant rosemary, olives and sea salt, this delicious keto focaccia is incredibly easy to make. Made with almond flour, it's also gluten-free. Use it for sandwiches or as part of a dip plate.

2

Creative Ideas for Sandwiches Without Bread

Whether you are looking for low carb sandwich options or are following a keto diet, these ideas for sandwiches without bread make low carb picnics a delicious breeze.

3

Easy Keto Cloud Bread Recipe (Oopsie Bread)

Cloud Bread is easy to make bread for those on a Keto diet or for anyone who wants a low carb or gluten-free alternative to bread. Even if you don't have dietary requirements, Cloud Bread is a nice change for sandwiches, cheese platters, appetizers, or sides.

4

Cauliflower Hash Browns

For a low carb hash brown alternative, these tasty Cauliflower Hash Browns are Keto friendly and quick and easy to make. There are also lots of ways to serve them beyond the breakfast table. We love these for brunch picnics, hot or cold. They also make a great appetizer base – make them smaller and top with dips, smoked salmon, roasted veg, or whatever topping suits your picnic theme.

Did you know that edamame is just underdeveloped soybeans? Originating from East Asia, Edamame are crunchy, vibrant and tasty, and in small servings (100g has 3.6g of net carbs), they make a delicious addition to a keto diet. This beautiful low carb salad will brighten any picnic spread.

8

Keto Broccoli Salad with Bacon and Cheese

Broccoli makes a wonderful salad but is often overlooked. This low carb broccoli salad has crumbled bacon, cheese, and crunchy sunflower seeds finished with a keto-friendly sweet dressing for loads of flavour.

If you love broccoli, you may want to try our Warm Broccoli Dip, just leave out or reduce the onion for a keto option.

Garlic Roasted Radishes

Radishes are an excellent keto-friendly ingredient, and roasting them takes them next level. Serve them as a side dish, add them to a salad or as part of a low carb mezze platter.

Roasted Red Peppers

Much like roasted radishes, there are so many ways you can incorporate roasted red peppers into a delicious keto picnic menu. While not the lowest in carbs in the colour spectrum of peppers, one large red bell pepper comes in at 9.9g total carbs or 6.5g net carbs, just slightly higher than a green pepper.

Cuban Sandwich Skewers

Put your sandwich on a stick for a completely portable, low-carb Cuban Sandwich indulgence—a fantastic appetiser and so easy to make. Just make sure your pickles don't contain added sugars.

Egg salad is a bbq and picnic winner. It makes a great side dish, stand-alone salad or loaded into lettuce cups for a low carb wrap option. This version uses yoghurt as a healthier option that ticks many diet boxes.

13

Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks

Chicken drumsticks are a fabulous dish for alfresco dining, and this recipe is delicious and healthy. Mix up your seasonings to taste, and even if you don't have an air fryer, oven-baked is just as delicious.

Soft and crumbly (like a biscuit) with a nutty finish, these little keto buns are lovely with butter as a side to a salad or soup or use them as a low carb bread substitute. They make a very satisfying low carb chicken sandwich.

16

Roasted Vine Tomatoes

While technically a fruit, tomatoes are keto-friendly and roasted tomatoes are an excellent picnic companion. Serve them in a salad or add them to a mezze or cheese platter—a very versatile and easy side dish.

17

Loaded Cauliflower Mock Potato Salad

This low carb potato salad uses cauliflower for a delicious and keto-friendly version of everyone's favourite. And while substituting cauliflower for potatoes isn't entirely new, this recipe is full of all the flavours of a loaded baked potato, such as sour cream bacon and super tasty cheese.

18

Cauliflower Salad Recipe

This creamy cauliflower salad has all the goodness of potato salad also without the carbs. This version has sundried tomatoes, which you can substitute for bacon bits if you are following a strict keto diet. A great make-ahead salad that you can tweak to your heart's desire.

19

Roasted Eggplant Dip - Baba Ganoush Recipe

The Middle Eastern favourite Baba Ganoush is easy to make and is a versatile, low carb, keto-friendly dish for many occasions. Whether grilled or roasted, baba ganoush is one of the best picnic dips, especially for low carb diets—the deliciously smokey eggplant dip compliments so many picnic menu ideas.
