Keto Thai Meatballs - Stylish Cravings (2024)

These keto Thai meatballs are smothered in a coconut curry sauce. You won’t believe how amazing they taste – and they are low-carb!

Keto Meatballs

Meatballs are one of those types of food that you can eat for lunch, parties, or a fancy dinner. They are so versatile! These keto meatballs stand out because they are covered in a yummy coconut curry sauce.

Add a toothpick to each one and serve them at your next party. They are so appetizing that they will disappear in no time!

Probably the best thing about these keto meatballs is that they have a sweet and spicy flavor. The Thai red curry paste gives them an irresistible heat while the sugar-free sweetener balances it out with a lighter undertone.

Thai Meatballs

Are you a fan of Thai food? Maybe pad Thai is your favorite thing in the world. Even if you have never cooked Thai food before, you will be able to make this. The meatballs are as simple to make as just mixing up the ingredients and rolling them into balls. The creamy coconut curry sauce doesn’t take much effort either.

Just saute the veggies, stir in the rest of the ingredients, and keep simmering until it is as thick as you like it.

These tasty and scrumptious meatballs are delicious enough to rival any Thai takeout you are craving – and they are ready faster than the time it takes for you to order delivery. Check out this other takeout alternative that’s ready in 15 minutes!

I used ground beef for the meatballs, but you can use ground turkey, chicken, or even ground lamb!

Skillet Meatballs

I am a huge fan of skillet meals. You can make almost anything in them. In fact, check out these skillet dinner ideas and make something new later this week.

The best thing about making meatballs in a skillet is that cleanup is super simple. You only have to wash one pan. Plus, you just can’t beat the way a skillet makes a sauce. It helps it boil down to a perfect thickness.

If you use a cast-iron skillet, you can easily transfer the skillet to the oven and keep the meatballs warm at a low temperature.

These are perfect for your meal prep too! Just store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and they will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Keto Curry Sauce

Save this recipe even if it is just for the coconut curry sauce recipe. You can use this sauce on top of noodles too! Or use it as a dip for keto chicken fingers or make some coconut curry pork chops with it. The options are endless!

It is made with easy-to-find ingredients. The coconut milk is what makes it super creamy and filling. Top it with fresh basil for beauty and taste!

If you want the sauce to be a bit spicier, add a dash (or more) of sriracha!

Thai Side Dishes

What are some of your favorite sides when you order Thai takeout? You can probably make a copycat version at home. I am a huge fan of fried rice, so cauliflower fried rice is an easy decision.

You can also serve a bowl of hot low-carb chicken pho with this meal. Or use your favorite keto-friendly noodle (like palmini or zucchini noodles) to make some keto-friendly pad Thai.
