How to make it keto
Order 'unpaniert' (unbreaded). Request green salad or steamed vegetables (e.g., green beans, broccoli) instead of potato salad, fries, or rice. Confirm no flour is used in preparation or as a thickener in any accompanying sauce (which is usually not the case for traditional Wiener Schnitzel).
Say this to the waiter (German)
Zum Unpanierten Wiener Schnitzel bitte grünen Salat oder gedünstetes Gemüse anstelle von Kartoffeln. Und ist die Sauce ohne Mehl?
For the Unpaniertes Wiener Schnitzel, please, a green salad or steamed vegetables instead of potato sides. Also, confirm no flour is used in the sauce.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs if not specified 'unpaniert', sugary dressings on side salad, starchy side dishes.
