Low Carb Swedish Meatballs
Low carb Swedish meatballs are the cozy, savory dinner you can actually keep waiting in your fridge. Tender meatballs get smothered in a rich, creamy gravy with a little tang from Dijon and a deep savory note from Worcestershire, all on a bed of garlic herb green beans. It tastes like Sunday comfort food on a busy weeknight.
The gravy gets its silky texture from cottage cheese, sour cream, and chicken broth blended together, so it’s rich without any heavy cream. Everything bakes right in the meal prep containers, and each serving has 31 grams of protein and 15 grams of net carbs. Just reheat one, and lunch is handled.

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and the air fryer to 375°F.
- Add the green beans to a lined sheet pan. Drizzle with avocado oil and season with garlic & herb seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Par-roast the green beans in the 400°F oven for 15 minutes.
- Place the 40 meatballs in the air fryer and air fry at 375°F for about 4 minutes to develop flavor.
- While the green beans and meatballs cook, add the chicken broth, cottage cheese, sour cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Divide the green beans and meatballs evenly among 5 oven-safe meal prep containers.
- Spoon the Swedish gravy evenly over the meatballs, about ½ cup per serving.
- Return the uncovered containers to the 400°F oven and bake for 15–20 minutes.
- Let the containers cool completely before adding the lids. Refrigerate and reheat as needed.

Notes
- Use any meatballs you like. Turkey, beef, or homemade all work.
- Make sure the containers are oven-safe before they go back in the oven.
- Let the containers cool before putting the lids on so condensation doesn’t make the green beans soggy.
