About this recipe
Personally, I do not follow the keto diet. So, when I realized that this snack board was keto, I was surprised. This keto snack board includes, smashed parmesan Brussel sprouts, grilled chicken apples sausage coins, and parmesan black pepper bacon twists. These dipping vessels taste so good with my homemade honey mustard and hummus dip.
Important Note
Please note, my recipe for honey mustard is NOT a keto recipe since it includes honey. However, I am sure there are some great keto honey mustard recipes or substitutes available. I also used a store bought hummus. However, I dressed it up with Delallo garlic parmesan dipping oil and some toasted pine nuts. This is the same oil I used to brush the Brussel sprouts. It works so well with everything. I highly recommend making the purchase.
Even my husband, Dan who is a “carbovore” loved this tasty keto snack board. He piled up his plate for lunch and was completely satiated after enjoying each recipe. He suggested we add a few additional dips next time. Which got me thinking, that spinach artichoke dip or my pimento cheese dip would both taste great with this snack board as well.
What’s fun is that you can get as creative as you want. You also don’t have to keep it keto. It just worked out this way for this board. Pita chips, crackers, or bell pepper slices would all make great additions to this snack board. Your family can enjoy a little taste of each recipe. With so many choices, everyone is guaranteed to find a few bites they love.
This recipe serves about six to eight people a light appetizer. The nutritional information is listed below. It accounts for all of these recipes and the honey mustard. So, please keep that in mind when calculating this information.
Storage
Store any leftovers in their own respective airtight containers. Store everything in the refrigerator. The honey mustard and bacon twists will keep for four to five days. The parmesan brussel sprouts and chicken sausage coins will keep for two to three days.
