Keto Passover Seder Recipes

Passover: a celebration of freedom and starch.

As a kid, keeping kosher on Passover always stressed me out, since I disliked matzah (or matza or matzo or matzoh), matzah ball soup, gefilte fish, and potato kugel. My beloved pizza bagels were ousted. Instead I got matzah pizza. Gone were Twix and KitKats. In came the assorted fruit flavored jelly candies, sliced like smiles, as if to compensate for the disappointment of getting one. Even Coke had to be kosher for Passover.

I gave up keeping kosher long ago, and in the past decade of eating low carb, I’ve lost my cravings for most junk food. So, the holiday really doesn’t change my diet in any way these days.  But for anyone who is planning a seder, trying to figure out how to keep out the carbs can be challenging. That’s why we rounded up some low carb recipes for those of you aiming to have a keto Passover seder. (i.e. Below you’ll find some ideas for potato substitutes!)
