This easy and healthy bone broth recipe is perfect for low carb, keto, paleo, and Whole30 diets. Rich in nutrients and collagen, it’s a great addition to any meal or can be sipped on its own.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 23 lbs beef bones (marrow bones, knuckles, or oxtail)
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 12 cups water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes until browned.
  2. Transfer roasted bones to a large stockpot or slow cooker. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, vinegar, salt, peppercorns, and bay leaves.
  3. Pour in water until bones and vegetables are fully covered.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours, adding water as needed.
  5. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the top occasionally.
  6. Once done, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve. Discard solids.
  7. Let the broth cool, then refrigerate. Skim off the solidified fat if desired.
  8. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • You can use chicken bones or a mix of beef and poultry for variety.
  • Adding a splash of vinegar helps extract minerals from the bones.
  • The longer you simmer, the richer the flavor and nutrients.
