How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes, rice, or any starchy side dishes. Confirm no flour is used as a thickener in the sauce. Ask for extra garlic and olive oil if desired.
Watch out for
Hidden flour used to thicken sauces (unlikely for al ajillo style but always a risk). Traditional high-carb side dishes (potatoes, rice) must be explicitly omitted. Watch for excess carrots or other higher-carb vegetables if a basic stock is used for initial cooking (usually minimal impact).
