Beef and Eggplant Kebab Recipe (Low-Carb + Keto)

In my opinion, this is one of the best kebabs you can try. However, make sure to make your own, low-carb version because those kebabs that are sold on the streets contain high amounts of flour which add quite a lot of carbs per serving.

Instead, I like to add eggs that prevent the meat from falling apart. Spice things up with some crushed garlic cloves and serve this world-wide famous dish.

Some people are not huge fans of eggplants. In this case, you can easily replace eggplant slices with good old bell peppers (but make sure to keep the amounts low because of their high carb content), zucchini, onions, or any other fresh vegetables you have on hand.

As for serving, any kind of leafy greens will do the job perfectly. Optionally, sprinkle with just a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice and serve these delicious skewers.

Low Carb Kebab

Let’s Ketofy It!

Cut the eggplants crosswise to make circular slices, around half an inch thick.

Season with salt to remove the bitterness. Set aside for 10 minutes. 

Place the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Knead to consistency. Mold into patties, about the size of the eggplant slices.

Coat a large non-stick grill pan with the 3 tbsp of oil before setting it over medium-high heat.

Wash the eggplant slices. Squeeze out any unnecessary liquids with your hands.

Push an eggplant slice through the soaked skewers, followed by a piece of patty. Repeat until you almost fill the long skewer (leaving enough space in one end for the handle). Do this for the rest of the skewers then arrange them on the pan.

Grill the skewers for 15 minutes. Flip occasionally to cook all sides.
