This Keto Fried Cabbage with Bacon is the perfect side dish or can stand alone as a meal. It’s versatile in flavor and perfect for a low-carb diet!
Keto Fried Cabbage with Bacon Recipe
I don’t know why cabbage tends to get such a bad rap. In our house, we love eating it because it really can go with a variety of different meals and flavors. Plus, cabbage does a great job at picking up seasonings and sauces so it becomes super flavorful really quickly.
While cabbage is great on its own, the fact that this recipe adds bacon takes it over the top. (C’mon…who doesn’t love bacon?) The bacon adds that saltiness that pairs perfectly with the cabbage and once fried together…it’s a real treat for your taste buds.

How to cut cabbage for Keto Fried Cabbage with Bacon
Cutting the cabbage to cook evenly is important. First, rinse and remove the loose leaves. I typically remove several layers then I rinse again.
Next, place the stem end flat on a cutting board and cut the cabbage in half. Once done, cut it in half again, and again to help make the cutting and chopping a bit easier. Proceed in removing the white core.
Take each quarter of the cabbage and slice into thin strips. Then, go back and cut the strips into smaller pieces until you have chopped the entire cabbage.
How to store Keto Fried Cabbage with Bacon
