Keto Bruschetta Bites Recipe

Print Recipe

Keto Bruschetta Bites are a fresh, low-carb spin on the classic Italian appetizer—minus the bread. These easy bites are made with chopped cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil, all served on crisp, keto-friendly bases like cucumber slices or cheese crisps. Great for dinner parties, snacks, or a light summer meal on the keto diet.

Ingredients

Topping:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional, use sparingly)

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 4–5 fresh basil leaves, chopped

  • Optional: 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or crumbled feta

Base (choose one or mix):

  • 1 cucumber, sliced into 1/4″ rounds

  • 1 zucchini, sliced (can grill lightly)

  • Cheese crisps (store-bought or homemade)

  • Almond flour crackers

  • Mini bell pepper halves

Instructions

  • Prepare your base by slicing cucumber or zucchini into thick rounds. If using zucchini, lightly grill for 2 minutes per side for extra flavor.

  • In a bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and basil. Let sit for 5–10 minutes.

  • Spoon the tomato mixture onto each slice or base. Top with optional cheese if desired.

  • Serve fresh for best taste. If prepping ahead, store toppings and bases separately.

Notes

  • To keep it stricter keto, skip the balsamic or use less.

  • You can swap cherry tomatoes for Roma if that’s what you have.

  • Add diced avocado, chopped bacon, or jalapeños for fun twists.

  • Make the topping a few hours ahead to deepen flavor—just don’t build the bites until right before eating.
