    Collage of 4 microwave meals including shakshuka, hamburger, cheese wrap sandwiches and buffalo stuffed peppers.

    We love the convenience of low-carb and keto microwave meals, especially when you're in hurry and don't have time to cook a proper meal. Not only that, they're ideal when you only have access to a microwave (hello workplace kitchen, dorm or hotel room!). 

    And when you're on a low-carb or keto diet, it's important to have quick and easy meals on hand, so you don't eat something you'll regret when you're hungry.

    Here are 10 quick meals you can make in the microwave with some pantry and frozen or refrigerated items. We think these low-carb microwave meals are tastier than what you can find in the frozen section, and most of these meals include simple and/or fresh ingredients. These microwave recipes include keto breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

    Microwave Shakhuka with Sausage and Parmesan (Just 2 Minutes!)

    Microwave shakshuka with sausage and topped with parmesan and fresh parsley. Served in a bowl.

    In this microwave shakshuka, an egg is poached in a bed of Rao's Arrabbiata Sauce along with chunks of sliced breakfast sausage and grated parmesan. It's a delicious and easy two-minute meal to add to your low-carb and keto breakfast rotation. Click here for the recipe.

    Microwave Keto Blueberry Mug Muffin

    Microwave blueberry mug muffin sprinkled with powdered Swerve Sweetener and served with blueberries on the side on a plate.

    Who doesn't love a yummy blueberry muffin for breakfast every once in a while? This keto blueberry mug muffin is quick (only needs a minute or so in the microwave), easy and satisfies any cravings for a blueberry muffin. Best of all, it's moist and sweet with the right amount of blueberry goodness. Click here for the recipe.

    Microwave Omelet with Ham, Cheese & Jalapeño

    Microwave egg omelet with ham, jalapeno and melted cheddar cheese in a mug.

    The first time we made this 3-minute microwave omelet with ham, cheese and jalapeño, we were surprised by just how tasty it was. This quick and easy microwave omelet is full of flavor due to the shredded cheddar cheese, ham and jalapeños, and the eggs turn out nice and fluffy. Click here for the recipe.

    Melted Cheese Sandwich Wraps in the Microwave

    Microwave cheese wraps stuffed with turkey, avocado, jalapenos and piled on a plate.

    Skip the tortilla or bread — simply melt cheese in the microwave to create these delicious, low-carb and keto sandwich wraps. To make, you simply melt some shredded cheese on parchment paper in the microwave for one minute, and then fill with your favorite sandwich fillings. Easy cheesy! They're a great pack-and-go lunch. Click here for the recipe.

    5-Minute, 3-Ingredient Keto Tomato Soup

    Keto microwave tomato soup in a bowl topped with grated parmesan and chopped parsley.

    You wouldn’t guess this is a 5-minute, 3-ingredient keto tomato soup since the flavor is all there. And it sure beats any canned soup that you can buy at the store. This spicy keto tomato soup is super convenient when you don’t have time to make dinner or lunch or just don’t feel like doing much at all. Click here for the recipe.

    Microwave Barbeque Chicken Quesadilla

    BaBarbeque Chicken Quesadilla sliced in triangles and stacked on a plate with barbeque sauce on the side.

    Yes, it's possible to make a yummy chicken quesadilla with just a microwave, and this microwave barbeque chicken quesadilla is our favorite! It checks so many boxes: it's hearty, cheesy, sweet, spicy, and quick and easy to make. The barbeque sauce gives the shredded rotisserie chicken a kick of flavor and keeps it moist and tender, which is key to a yummy chicken quesadilla! Click here for the recipe.

    Keto Meatballs in the Microwave (5 Minutes!)

    Microwave "meatballs" topped with Rao's sauce, melted mozzarella and fresh parsley. Served in a bowl.

    Don't have time to make keto meatballs? No problem! Here is a simple meatball hack that produces yummy low-carb meatballs in less than 5 minutes. These well-seasoned meatballs are smothered in Rao's pasta sauce and topped with melted mozzarella cheese. They're so simple and delicious! Click here for the recipe.

    Frozen, Pre-Cooked Hamburger with the Works

    Microwaved pre-cooked hamburger on a bed of lettuce and topped with cheese, sliced avocado, red onion and sugar-free ketchup.

    For this microwave meal, you simply heat up your favorite pre-cooked hamburger in the microwave and then dress it with fresh toppings. Ball Park makes fully-cooked, flamed-grilled beef patties that you can order from Amazon. Simply follow the microwave instructions for heating. We add a slice of cheddar cheese halfway through cooking and, when done, we place on a bed of romaine lettuce and top with sliced avocado, sugar-free ketchup, and sliced red onion. But, you can top with whatever you like!

    Keto Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers in the Microwave (10-Minutes!)

    Microwave red peppers sliced in half and stuffed with buffalo chicken. Topped with blue cheese and green onion and served on a plate.

    These keto buffalo chicken stuffed peppers are a perfect microwave meal! It's because the bell peppers turn deliciously tender when steamed in the microwave and the rest of the ingredients, like store-bought rotisserie chicken, Frank's hot sauce and cheese, just need to be heated until warm and melted. They're just as delicious as stuffed peppers roasted in the oven and they take half the time! Click here for the recipe.

    Microwave Keto Mexican-ish Hot Dogs

    Microwave hot dog served in romaine lettuce cup and topped with shredded cheese, bacon, diced avocado, jalapenos and red onion. Served on a plate with sugar-free ketchup on the side.

    If you’re not on the hot dog bandwagon yet, then maybe these keto Mexican hot dogs will get you on board! These loaded hot dogs are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner since they take less than 10 minutes to make. The toppings include bacon (also cooked in the microwave), avocado, jalapeños, red onion, grated cheddar cheese, and any condiments of choice. Click here for the recipe.
