I’m sharing my Low-Carb and Keto Irish-Inspired Recipes For St. Patrick’s Day to inspire you to cook something special for that day! And even if you don’t have even the tiniest bit of Irish blood, you’re still probably aware that this Irish-American holiday is coming up soon.
I don’t remember my mom ever cooking special food for St. Patrick’s Day, but for years I loved to make corned beef, cabbage, and Brown Irish Soda Bread for my partly Irish dad, who loved all those dishes.
What St. Patrick’s Day Recipes are featured here?
After I became a food blogger I learned that many foods Americans cook for this holiday are not really Irish at all. And definitely I’m not claiming that my favorites in this post are authentic Irish recipes, but still they’re a fun way to celebrate the day. This post has recipes with classic Irish ingredients like cabbage, corned beef, turnips, bacon, and sausage. There are also some ideas here for using leftover corned beef, but if you’re not lucky enough to have some of that, just buy corned beef in the deli to make some of these dishes.

My favorite way to cook corned beef is this delicious Instant Pot Corned Beef with Creamy Horseradish Sauce. And even though corned beef like this is more Irish-American than authentically Irish, I make it every year for St. Patrick’s Day!
If you’re not an Instant Pot fan, you can’t go wrong with my Slow Cooker Corned Beef. I skip the potatoes to make it more diet-friendly, and I’d go easy on the carrots too if you’re watching your carbs.
This Roasted Cabbage with Lemon is a dish I’d happily eat any time of the year, and it’s a perfect side dish if you’re cooking corned beef in the Instant Pot or the slow cooker! PLEASE don’t skimp on the lemon; that’s what makes this so amazing. (Or try Spicy Baked Cabbage if you don’t mind some fusion food for St. Patrick’s Day!)
This new recipe for Cabbage Gratin is an amazing idea for a side dish to go with corned beef, and I know that potato gratins are found in Irish cuisine so I think I’m safe in calling this Irish inspired! And this is extra low in carbs!
This recipe for Colcannon with Bacon (Low-Carb) just got an update, and my version of Colcannon has cauliflower, cabbage, green onions, bacon, butter, and some salt and pepper.
Did you know that turnips and bacon are both traditional Irish foods, and I have no doubt that this Turnip Gratin with Bacon would taste amazing served with Corned Beef!
Or if you want a simpler way to serve turnips for a corned beef side dish, I think these simple Roasted Turnips would also be really tasty!
It’s definitely a think-outside-the-box idea for leftover corned beef and maybe a stretch to call this Irish, but these Reuben Sandwich Cabbage Cups are such a tasty way to use corned beef!
Sausage is a popular food in Ireland, so I think we can get away with calling this Cabbage and Sausage Sheet Pan Meal an Irish-inspired dish.
This recipe for Instant Pot Cabbage and Sausage is quick and easy to make and both these ingredients are traditional in Ireland!
Fried Cabbage with Bacon is easy and tasty and did you know that Bacon and Cabbage is a traditional Irish dish? Although what they call bacon in Ireland is a thicker version of what we’d call Canadian Bacon in the U.S.
If you don’t cook corned beef, you can use corned beef from the deli to make this AMAZING Low-Carb Reuben Bake. The Reuben Sandwich didn’t come from Ireland, but most of these ingredients are things that are used in Irish food.
And whenever you have leftover corned beef you can’t go wrong with this easy, easy Fried Cabbage with Corned Beef! You can buy corned beef at the deli to make this as well!
