4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 fresh halibut fillets (about 5–6 oz each), skin removed
- ½ cup **Stevia Sweet BBQ Sauce** (for marinade)
- ¼ cup **Stevia Sweet BBQ Sauce** (for finishing glaze)

- Place halibut fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag.
- Pour marinade over fish; cover and refrigerate for **20–30 minutes**.
Do not marinate longer than 30 minutes—acidic ingredients can break down the delicate texture of halibut.

- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
Bake the Halibut
- Remove halibut from marinade and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Discard any leftover marinade used for soaking.
- Bake for **10–14 minutes**, or until fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of **145 °F (63 °C).
Double-Dip with Sauce
- In the last **2 minutes of baking**, brush each fillet with a thin layer of the reserved ¼ cup BBQ sauce for a glossy finish.
- For a slightly caramelized glaze, briefly place under the broiler for 1–2 minutes—watch carefully to avoid burning.
Serve and Garnish
- Transfer halibut to warm plates.
- Spoon any pan juices over top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
- Pair with steamed vegetables, cauliflower rice, or a crisp garden salad for a balanced diabetic-friendly plate.

Featured Recipe: Keto BBQ Chicken Skewers with Stevia Sweet BBQ
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Net Carbs: 3g per serving (depending on BBQ sauce quantity)
Ingredients
For the Skewers:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breast), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- For the BBQ Glaze:½ cup Stevia Sweet BBQ Sauce (ensure it’s keto-friendly, with no added sugars)
- 2 tbsp melted butter or ghee
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp chili powder (optional, for a slight kick)
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade:In a small bowl, whisk together the Stevia Sweet BBQ Sauce, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and chili powder (if using). Set aside half of this mixture for glazing during cooking.
Marinate the Chicken:
Place the chicken cubes in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour half of the BBQ glaze over the chicken and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).
Prep the Skewers:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C) or preheat an oven to 425°F (220°C) if baking.
In a separate bowl, toss the zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Thread the marinated chicken and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces (e.g., chicken, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, repeat). Use metal skewers or soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Cook the Skewers:
Grill Method: Place skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Brush the reserved BBQ glaze over the skewers during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Oven Method: Place skewers on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through. Brush with the reserved BBQ glaze and broil for 1-2 minutes to caramelize.
Serve:
Remove skewers from the grill or oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, drizzle with a little extra Stevia Sweet BBQ Sauce for a bolder flavor.
Serve with a side of keto-friendly coleslaw or a green salad with a high-fat dressing (like ranch or Caesar) to keep it low-carb.
