However, if you’re first starting it, you might feel a bit discouraged by the lack of variety in your food choices. Removing carbs from your life almost entirely can be a dramatic change, we’re not going to deny that.

Keto Cabbage Recipes
Cabbage is a great keto-friendly vegetable, and there are plenty of delicious recipes out there that use it as a main ingredient. It’s rich in vitamins and minerals, and it’s also a great source of fiber.

Keep reading for a list of delicious keto cabbage recipes that will help you stick to your diet while still enjoying variety and flavor in your meals. Without further ado, here’s a list of some of the best keto cabbage recipes around.
1. Spicy Mexican Cabbage Rice
Now before you write this recipe off because it contains rice, hear us out. This dish has zero rice in it. In fact, it uses cabbage instead of the real thing, so it’s perfectly keto-friendly.
We know that there’s no way cabbage and rice could ever feel, taste, or smell similar, but once you make this dish, you’ll probably stop caring that you’re not having real rice.
You’ll need to have a food processor to pull off this recipe. The secret is to chop the cabbage, then put it in the food processor and hit the pulse button until the cabbage starts to resemble rice.
One of the best things about this recipe is that it doesn’t take you by surprise as far as the list of ingredients goes. It mainly consists of things you probably already have, especially if you’re a fan of Mexican food, such as:
- Cabbage
- Avocado oil
- Onion
- Jalapeno
- Garlic
- Tomato
- Cumin
- Tomato paste
- Lime juice
- Salt

The spices give it a tasty Mexican flavor, and the dish is easily made in one pot. You can find the full recipe on Kicking Carbs, along with detailed instructions.

The beef and cabbage are cooked in a savory sauce, and the dish could easily be served over cauliflower rice if you feel like it.

We’re oversimplifying the recipe, but we promise that that’s the gist of it. You won’t have to learn any new knife techniques.

3. Keto Hamburger Patties with Fried Cabbage and Tomato Sauce
Diet Doctor has some of the best keto recipes around, and this one is no exception. It’s a delicious and hearty meal that the whole family will enjoy.
The cabbage in this recipe is fried, which gives it a nice crispy texture. And it’s served with a delicious tomato sauce that takes the dish to the next level.
However, note that if you overcook the cabbage it will lose all of its crispiness in favor of mushiness. In other words, make sure you time the frying just right so you don’t mess up the cabbage.
You’ll need the following ingredients for this recipe:
- Green cabbage
- Butter
- Ground beef or turkey
- Egg
- Black pepper
- Feta cheese
- Parsley
- Olive oil
- Heavy whipping cream
- Tomato paste or ajvar relish
- Salt and pepper
Once you score the ingredients, you’ll have to prepare the patties, cook the cabbage, then assemble everything together. Note that since this recipe is keto-friendly, it will lack the buns.
And before you start thinking that you can’t have hamburgers properly without the buns, just remember that you can always add avocado or use lettuce instead. Head over to Diet Doctor for the full recipe and instructions.
4. Easy One-Pot Pork and Cabbage Keto Stew
I once heard that stew is food for the soul and I couldn’t agree more. After I discovered this dish knew I had to include it in this list. This particular recipe from Keto Summit is hearty and filling, and it’s the perfect meal for a cold winter day. Or a breezy summer night, it’s up to you.
One of the parts we liked most is that you only need one pot to make it, so you won’t have to dirty up your kitchen with a bunch of pots, pans, and utensils.
The pork and cabbage are cooked in a delicious broth, and the dish is flavored with ginger, garlic, and green onions. Usually, stews are generous when it comes to ingredients.

- Pork (butt, loin, or boneless shoulder)

7. Keto Reuben Cabbage Rolls
When I first entered the cooking realm I had no idea what a Reuben was. As it turns out, it’s a classic sandwich that’s made with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing.
And while it’s delicious, it’s not exactly keto-friendly. However, these keto Reuben cabbage rolls from Sugar-Free Mom are the perfect way to enjoy all the flavors of a Reuben without all the carbs.
The best part is that, much like the sandwich (or any other sandwich, for that matter), these keto Reuben cabbage rolls are easy to make. You’ll need the following ingredients:
- Head cabbage
- Corned beef
- Sauerkraut
- Swiss cheese
- Sour cream
- Sugar-free ketchup
- Dill pickle relish
- White wine vinegar

- Pepper
To make the cabbage rolls, simply remove the leaves from the head of cabbage and blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes. Then, fill each leaf with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, sour cream, sugar-free ketchup, dill pickle relish, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Once you’ve rolled up the cabbage leaves, place them in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes. We’re sure you’ll find more helpful instructions on Sugar-Free Mom’s website, so head over there for the full recipe.
8. Keto Pressure Cooker Keto Corned Beef and Cabbage
Having a pressure cooker around blessed me with two things: the ability to cook food faster and the ability to cook food with less cleanup. And while I don’t use it as often as I’d like, I’m always glad to have it when I need it.
This keto pressure cooker corned beef and cabbage from Wholesome Yum is the perfect dish for those busy weeknights when you don’t have a lot of time to cook. And because it’s made in a pressure cooker, it’s also a one-pot meal, which means you can enjoy your free time instead of cleaning up.
The recipe’s unmistakable taste stems from a creative blend of delicious ingredients, including:
- Beef bone broth
- Corned beef brisket
- Head cabbage
- Celery root
- Onions
- Sour cream
- Mayonnaise
- Lemon juice
- Garlic powder
- Prepared horseradish

Just seeing the list of ingredients is making our mouths water. And we’re sure your mouth is watering too. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can also make this dish in a slow cooker.
However, cooking it the way it was intended (pressure cooker) could yield a delicious dish in approximately 90 minutes, while the slow cooker version could increase cooking time significantly.
For the full recipe, including tools, ingredients, serving recommendations, nutritional values, and a comprehensive list of instructions, make sure you visit Wholesome Yum.
9. Keto Ham and Cabbage Soup
If you never had cabbage soup before, then you’re in for a treat. It’s so tasty that it might even become your new go-to soup recipe. And if you have had cabbage soup before, then you’re in for an even bigger treat because this keto ham and cabbage soup from Splash of Keto is out of this world.
Cabbage soup has a tremendous range of benefits, including being low in calories and fat, high in fiber, and a great source of vitamins C and K. But the benefits don’t stop there. Cabbage soup is also known for being helpful when it comes to weight loss because it’s filling and satisfying.
This particular recipe calls for the following ingredients:
- Olive oil
- Butter
- Red peppers
- Onion
- Large cabbage
- Beef broth
- Water
- Canned tomatoes
- Cooked ham
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Garlic powder
- Parsley
- Xanthan gum
- Pepper
We were surprised by the lack of salt on this ingredient list, but then it made sense because ham is a very salty meat. If you want to add some extra flavor, we suggest trying out some different spices or adding hot sauce.
One thing to keep in mind is that this recipe makes a lot of soup. So if you’re cooking for one or two people, we suggest halving the recipe. You can always freeze the leftovers and enjoy them later.
10. Keto Southern Fried Cabbage with Bacon
There’s something about Southern food that just makes your mouth water. And while we can’t put our finger on it, we think it has something to do with the fact that Southern food is usually fried. And what’s not to love about fried food?
This keto Southern fried cabbage with bacon from Wholesome Yum is the perfect dish for anyone who loves Southern food but is trying to stay keto. And trust us, it does not disappoint.
As you’d expect from a dish that brings together a fried base ingredient and bacon, the result is packed with flavor. However, the delicious flavor is also brought by some of the other ingredients:
- Sweet onion
- Head cabbage
- Bacon
- Garlic
- Paprika
- Black pepper
- Sea salt
When we saw the full ingredient list we thought to ourselves, “this dish is going to be so good.” And we were right. Despite lacking a huge ingredient list, this keto Southern fried cabbage with bacon recipe is still able to pack a flavor punch.

But it is, and that’s thanks to the use of cabbage instead of traditional white or brown rice. This swap keeps the carb count down while still providing you with a hearty and filling meal.
This casserole is also packed with flavor, thanks to the addition of ground beef, onions, garlic, and seasonings. And if you want to make it extra cheesy (because who doesn’t love cheese?), feel free to add in some shredded cheddar cheese.

I bet most of you have not only heard about caramelized onion but also tried it as part of a dish. But have you ever tried caramelized cabbage? If not, then this recipe from The Roasted Root is a great place to start.

21. Keto Egg Cabbage Rolls
Egg rolls are some of my favorite things to eat. They’re crispy, they’re packed with flavor, and they’re just all-around delicious. However, they’re also usually loaded with carbs. Eggs are fine, but the wraps are usually made with wheat flour, which is a no-no on the keto diet.
But not these egg rolls from The Hungry Elephant. These are low-carb and keto-friendly, which means you can enjoy them without having to worry about your macros. Well, you still have to be careful not to overindulge, but it’s still better than avoiding this type of food entirely.
Many recipes use lettuce or cabbage instead of wraps, which makes them a lot healthier. As you’d expect, these egg rolls use cabbage as a wrapper to bring you the same flavor and texture without all the carbs.
To make these, you’ll need:
- Head cabbage
- Ground pork
- Minced garlic
- Ginger
- Coleslaw mix
- Coconut aminos
- Sesame oil
- Butter
The recipe is actually very straightforward. All you have to do is mix together the eggs, bacon, and spices. Then, you’ll need to blanch the cabbage leaves to make them pliable enough to wrap around the filling. After that, it’s just a matter of rolling everything up and frying until crispy.
If you’re looking for a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional egg rolls, then this recipe from The Hungry Elephant is definitely worth trying.

The simplicity of the recipe makes it easy to remember so that you won’t have to worry about misplacing the recipe once you’ve prepared the dish once.
