Imagine this: It’s late afternoon, and you've got lunch in the rearview, but dinner still hours away. You’re craving a snack, but don’t know what to reach for. Energy’s crashing, it’s hard to focus, you can feel yourself getting irritable… This dilemma is troubling for most, but can be particularly disastrous if you’re following a low-carb diet. Don’t get caught raiding the vending machine for a passable option when you could have something amazing to look forward to instead. Check out our 30 homemade low-carb snacks for ideas—they’ll help keep hanger at bay, any time of day.

We don’t know about you, but when we’re craving a snack, there’s a few things we always reach for—having low-carb options that are comforting, salty, crunchy, sweet, simple, and super-satisfying are ALL necessities. Big potato chip fan? Try our salami chips, our keto tortilla chips, or our avocado crisps to scratch that itch. They all got the crunch you desire without those pesky potato carbs.

More of a sweets fan? (Relatable!) Skip the store-bought cookies and candy and make your own way more satisfying options, like our keto Oreos, our keto copycat snickers bars, our keto magic cookies, or our keto fat bombs. They’ll help you kick cravings for sugar to the curb.

Missing comfort food faves? Check out our loaded zucchini skins, our cauliflower tots, our keto sausage puffs, our BLT egglets, or our keto garlic bread. Bonus: These all make for great appetizers for any occasion, from dinner parties to game day.

We’re going to tell it to you straight. Homemade candy takes time and patience, especially when you’re making chewy caramel and nougat. But it’s worth it 1,000 times over when you take a bite and realize that it’s even better than your favorite store-bought packaged treat—even if it does happen to be gluten-free and keto-friendly.

We sprinkle the ham with a little shredded cheddar here, but feel free to swap in your favorite type of cheese like Gruyère, Parmesan, or pepper Jack. You can also use sliced deli turkey or salami. We love these as a mid-morning snack when we're getting hangry for lunch, but feel free to make these any time of day!

Super-easy to make and without any flour, these cookies are seriously magical. For best success, make sure neither your coconut oil or butter is melted. You want them both solid at room temperature, or the cookies will spread too much while baking.

BLT Sushi

Figuring out how to make a BLT sandwich low-carb is basically a hobby at Delish: We're either sandwiching the fixings between a tomato bun (who needs bread?!), stuffing them between a big piece of romaine, or now, rolling it up like sushi. Are you freaking out yet? We're freaking out.

Although boiling a pot of water is easy, just tossing as many eggs as you want in an air fryer might be even easier. Simply cook the eggs to your desired doneness then shock them in an ice bath, and you will have perfectly hard-boiled (okay, air-fried) eggs!

Keto Rosemary Crackers

You CAN eat crackers on a low-carb diet, and this recipe is here to prove it. These are perfect to pair with a cheese and charcuterie plate. We've fancied them up with a bit of rosemary, but dried thyme, Italian seasoning, oregano, even coriander would totally work.

The secret to really good low-carb bread? Cheese, glorious cheese! Fun fact: The same concept applies to cauliflower crust if you're craving pizza. Dip this in some homemade marinara (store-bought works too, just check for added sugars).

A lot of people talk about how much they miss bread on the keto diet, but what about tortillas?! These tortillas are sturdy enough to hold up to whatever you fill them with (we're thinking some keto chicken salad), and they're ready in under 30 minutes.

Fat bombs keep you full longer, promote ketosis, and can even increase metabolism. Store 'em in your fridge and grab one any time you feel your energy waning. Pro tip: Look for peanut butter with two ingredients max—just peanuts and salt—and for sugar-free chocolate chips (we like Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips).

Typically, taquitos are made by rolling a variety of fillings tightly in a corn tortilla before deep frying. They're good. Like, REALLY good. Unfortunately, they're not keto, so we got creative and replaced the tortilla with something that is: cheese!
