I like to make shish kebabs in the summer. It’s an easy meal because the night before you chop up the meat and vegetables, marinate them and the next day grill for dinner. Very little clean up is needed and it’s a nice healthy dinner for my family.
However, now that I got myself an air fryer, I can make these easy, low carb Asian chicken kebabs all year round and in about 15 minutes!
Easy low carb Chicken Marinade Recipe
This is a simple marinade that I used for an Instant Pot shredded Asian beef recipe. It’s simply soy sauce, lots of garlic, ginger and Lakanto golden sweetener.
Lakanto golden is made from monk fruit (luo han guo fruit) and erythritol and is similar to brown sugar. It has zero carbs and zero calories which is very nice. Monk fruit is naturally sweet without affecting blood sugar and is perfect for a healthy sugar substitute.
Air Fryer Chicken Kebabs Recipe
This is how I make these low carb kebabs in a nutshell:
- Cut the chicken and vegetables into chunks.
- Mix the marinade of soy sauce, Lakanto golden, garlic, ginger, salt & pepper.
- Place the chicken and vegetables in a large baggie and pour the marinade over top.
- Refrigerate over night or make it early in the morning for serving in the evening.
- When ready to eat, place the chicken and vegetables on skewers and place into Air Fryer basket.
- Cook at 380°F 12 -1 5 minutes until chicken is at 160° F.
Don’t have an air fryer?
You can just make these on the grill or in a grill pan. Times may very on the grill but roughly 15 – 20 minutes. You could also just add everything to a sprayed cookie sheet and bake at 400°F for 15 minutes, flip and then for another 10-15 minutes.
Low Carb Vegetables to use in kebabs
For these kebabs I used mushrooms, yellow and green zucchini, colorful bell peppers, red onions and grape tomatoes. When I did the nutrition for these kebab I took out the grape tomatoes as they didn’t really go with the Asian flavors and they were higher in carbs. So here are some carb counts for standard kebab veggies and you can pick what you like.
- mushrooms (1.6g net carbs per cup)
- bell peppers (5.9g net carbs per cup)
- zucchini (2.7g net carbs per cup)
- cauliflower (3.2g net carbs per cup)
- red onions (12.2g net carbs per cup)
- grape tomatoes (4.8g net carbs per cup)
- green beans (4.3g net carbs per cup)
- radishes ( 2 net carbs per cup)
- asparagus ( 2.4 net carbs per cup)
- carrots ( 7.4 net carbs per cup)
- broccoli ( 6.1 net carbs per cup)

Well I hope you give these low carb chicken kebabs a try in your air fryer if you have one. I really like my air fryer. It’s an Air Fryer XL by Cozyna (5.8QT) and it has a pretty large basket (I’ve cooked a whole chicken) and it’s simple to use (not too many buttons and gadgets). So far it’s been great!
The nutritional information for 1 serving is:
