![These delicious keto vegetarian recipes will make your meat-eating friends jealous](https://www.ketowize.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Keto-Vegetarian-Recipes-Pinterest.jpg)
For many low-carb dieters, keto is often (inaccurately!) synonymous with high-protein, meaty meals.
If you’ve made the choice to skip out on the bacon, you may be wondering if you’ve found yourself in a culinary pickle!
Since so many keto recipes call for chicken, pork or beef, what’s a dedicated vegetarian to do?
Contrary to popular belief, the most important ingredient for ketogenic diets is actually the consumption of healthy fats. Giving up meat doesn’t have to mean giving up great flavor!
Check out these awesome vegetarian keto recipes that are sure to make your meat-eating friends salivate with envy.

One of my favorite vegetarian keto recipe hacks is portobello mushroom crusts or “breads.” This wonderful pizza recipe takes the concept and knocks it out of the park! Portobello mushroom caps are low-carb and full of nutrients, making them a great option for quick and easy pizzas loaded with delicious, keto-friendly toppings. These stuffed mushrooms are one of our favorite keto plant-based recipes on this list.
