Frequently Asked Questions

What vegetables can I eat as keto sides?

Best keto vegetables are low in carbs: leafy greens (spinach, lettuce, kale), cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts), zucchini, asparagus, mushrooms, peppers, and green beans. Avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes, corn, and peas.

How do I make keto sides taste better?

Use plenty of healthy fats! Cook vegetables in butter or olive oil, add cheese, use cream-based sauces, season generously with salt and herbs, and try roasting at high heat (400-425°F) for caramelization and deeper flavor.

Can I meal prep keto side dishes?

Yes! Roasted vegetables, cauliflower rice, and salads (dressing separate) meal prep well. Store in airtight containers for 3-5 days. Some sides like mashed cauliflower can be frozen. Reheat with a little extra butter or oil to restore moisture.
