How to Make Keto Zucchini Skins
To make these Keto Zucchini Skins, start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees f. Slice the zucchinis in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the insides of the each of them. Cut off the stems, then cut the hollowed out zucchinis in half. Place the zucchinis onto a baking pan, then brush the tops with the olive oil. Mix the parmesan cheese with the garlic powder then sprinkle it evenly over the oiled zucchinis. Bake for 12 – 14 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
While the Zucchini is baking, fry up the bacon until it’s crispy. Then chop up the cooked bacon and grate the cheddar cheese. Cover the tops of the zucchinis with the grated cheese and chopped up bacon. Place back in the oven and bake for another 4 -5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped green onion and place a small amount of sour cream onto each of the zucchini skins. Serve hot.
WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
The ketogenic diet (often called keto), is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.
While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.
