Ingredients

• 2 cups Yellow squash or zucchini (for keto-friendly corn substitute), diced
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 medium Jalapeño, finely diced
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 bag Pork rinds (for dipping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Dice the yellow squash or zucchini into small corn-sized pieces to mimic the texture of corn.

Step 2

In a sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini or squash and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened and golden in color, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, garlic powder, paprika, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Fold the cooked zucchini or squash and diced jalapeño into the cheese mixture, stirring to combine thoroughly.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a small ovenproof skillet or baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the dip for 10-12 minutes or until it’s hot and bubbly. Optionally, you can broil it in the last 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden, cheesy top.

Step 7

Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm with keto-friendly dippers such as pork rinds, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips.
