Keto Christmas Crockpot Cheesy Sprouts
Everyone loves an easy crockpot recipe, and this Keto Christmas dinner side dish is a great option for the festive table. Our Keto crockpot sprouts are smothered in a rich and creamy cheese sauce, then left to slow cook for a few hours - freeing you up time away from the kitchen. These deliciously cheesy sprouts are then topped with crispy diced pancetta to serve.
Can I Make These Without a Crockpot?
We have slow cooked our Keto Christmas sprouts for ease and minimal fuss. If you do not have a slow cooker, you can simply boil the sprouts until tender. You can then drizzle over the cheese sauce and bake until bubbling before sprinkling over the crispy pancetta.
Serving Suggestions
We have topped our Keto Christmas side with a scattering of crispy pancetta to complement the cheese and tender sprouts. If you like, the sprouts could also be served with an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan. They could even be decorated with some chopped nuts for added texture and festive flavor. Once cooked, serve the sprouts hot alongside your favorite Keto Christmas mains. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.
