VegetarianBBQ keto & low-carb sides
Are you on keto?
Then you might be a little bit confused with the fact that most of our side dishes are marked as moderate or liberal low carb (yellow or orange ball).
The answer is that the strictness of the recipe is not only defined by the amount of carbs but also by the balance between fat and protein. So, in practice, a “moderate” side dish, together with a “normal” portion of protein of your liking and a generous dollop of sauce or flavored butter (fat) will most likely become a delicious keto meal.
So feel free to indulge in all of our side dishes and combine them with your favorite meats and condiments for the perfect keto meal.
Dairy-free keto side dishes
Top 5 must-have keto ingredients for savory sides
- “Cole crops”: Cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens and kale are all high in nutrients (especially vitamin C) and low in carbs. Incredible versatile veggies that every low-carber should have in their fridge.
- Zucchini: Also very versatile. Cut it in half, spoon out the seeds and fill with your favorite toppings or spiralize the zucchini to turn it into “zoodles“. Or why not cut it into cubes to make a low-carb “potato salad“?
- Mushrooms: Great flavor and meat-like consistency. Delicious to fill with cheese and bake in the oven or fry together with butter and garlic. Also add protein and are high in potassium.
- Cheese: Takes veggies to another level. Use a strong and salty cheese like goat cheese, parmesan or blue cheese to give the side dish a punch of flavour and richness.
- Butter: Definitely a must-have. Everything gets better with butter, right?
