I love entertaining at Christmas and am trying to come up with ideas fir canapés that are delicious but lower carb:

So far I have...

Olives
Mini sausages / pigs in blankets
Walnuts with blue cheese
Parmesan crips
Guacamole & Crudités
Devilled eggs
Padron peppers
Nuts

Help me make a big list 🙏

Can be low carb rather than carb free!

I like the smoked salmon canapés where they have mousse wrapped up in smoked salmon.

Things on slices of cucumber are good too. Bearing in mind its got to be easy to eat with a drink in one hand.

Homemade meatballs, varying spaces and flavourings, and meat actually too. And different dipping sauces.

Cheese and pineapple on sticks for a retro touch

Cornichons and silverskin onions

Marinate cubed chicken in yogurt and curry spices and then bake on parchment paper. Serve in a pile with raita.

A variety of olives, sun dried tomatoes, veg sticks, cold meats, cheeses, etc.

Maybe not exactly a canapé or 'classy' but cooked chicken legs. Went to a buffet recently with them and they were very popular! Probably depends on type of guests!

Tiny, bite-size mbs , already on cocktail sticks !
I did some for a buffet, & had to stop a stupid bitch MIL double-dipping.

The perils of shared food, especially dips.....

Mind you, I'm mostly a buffet avoider since I witnessed a man sneeze violently all over one in a hotel, without any attempt to contain his spittle.

Little gem or endive leaves with filling - pate, or cheese, or prawn mayo

Bacon wrapped dates
shrimp

TheLadyIsAVamp · 26/11/2023 23:23

Antipasti skewers, chicken wings, stuffed mushrooms, jalapeno poppers, salami and cheese rollups, pepperoni pizza cups (basically pepperoni cups made in a muffin tin with pizza fillings), kofta kebabs, satay skewers, smoked salmon, cream cheese and cucumber stacks, mini turkey burgers, pork scratching, san chow bow, mini pork ribs, grilled halloumi. Very meat heavy from my keto days 😅

While bacon wrapped dates are very lovely, they are very definitely not low carb!

Mini chicken satay/skewers
Mini lamb koftas
Cherry tomatoes, cut in half and used to sandwich a cube of mozzarella - you can also dip the mozzarella in pesto for added flavour
Short sections of celery, with the 'trough' filled with cream cheese or pâté
Chorizo 'crisps' - slices of chorizo that you bake in the oven till they crisp up
